upcoming goals

Before I can do any more riding, I am going to have to swing by Addictive and have my bottom bracket tightened. Hopefully just tightening it is what it needs…but I wouldn’t be suprised if I destroyed it. I could swear that someone owned my ‘Goose before I did…it has ALWAYS had a clunkiness to [...]

Big Creek slam and soak

The plan was to meet up with Graham and Mershon at Big Creek after the “2Ways In A Day time trial” that was happening there today was over. The risk factor was a 60% chance of rain. We all kept an eye on the sky and the radar, and decided we were going to go [...]

worst

Thursday I had the worst ride in a looooong time. I felt obligated to ride because the weather was so nice, but I knew before I even left the hut that I wasn’t that into it. First I stopped by Addictive Cycle to scope out the shop…sometime I feel like I just have to stop [...]

Rock Racing not in Tour De Georgia

First off, it ends up that the trail is only 5 more miles away than one of the other trails I hit frequently, but in the opposite direction. The drive to Yargo is actually kind of nice…farms and rolling country [...]

Ft Yargo preliminary

Tomorrow or the next day, I am thinking of going to Ft Yargo to ride for my first time. Anything I need to know about the trail, parking, etc would be helpful. Hit me.

100% Chance of BEER

injury stuff

There is a thread today on the SORBA site about the guy who fell and had to be life-flighted out of Chicopee last week. I don’t know how to describe how this makes me feel, but it hits very close to home due to Chicopee being one of the trails I frequent. After watching a [...]

Easter Funday

Met up with rideBikes contributor Graham at Big Creek in Alpharetta at noon. He was supposed to be syncing up with someone who is selling a Santa Cruz Blur, so he could give it a ride and check it out, but she didn’t show. Luckily I had brought along Ye Ol Talera so we were [...]

photo day didn’t really work

Tried to do an “easy ride”today at Chicopee. I took the camera along hoping to get some pics at a few of the jumpable roots and the water crossing. The plan was to ride mellow to each location and then chill and wait for riders to approach, then get the snaps. It didn’t work out [...]
