Brandon Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 The trails are in alright shape, but i would wait at least for 3 dry days in as row, still kinda soft. (I was out a week ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Originally posted by Mr. Wright: The trails are in alright shape, but i would wait at least for 3 dry days in as row We've gotten that. I just walked home through the worst this line of "storms" had to offer, I'm barely wet. Sprinkles so light that they may not have even got past the trees. There's one more cell due in about an hour, might be rain, rather then sprinkles, but who cares, it'll be short, and I'm not a vaj. Still in?

Actualy, you guys can go canoing in the exact same area that we were riding in. Use the same parking lot and everything. Anyways, as I was saying, hells no. graemlins/thumb.gif HAd a blast deffinately must do this again, with more daylight next time. Clay made the mistake of calling me the trailmaster, so I'm running with it. I have a 10 year old bike with all origional parts....accept front brake pads, they fell off a while back. I'm issuing a trail riding challenge, I'm lookin at you Anthony! tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Man, my bike riding skills have diminished since the accident. My equalibrium got hosed up pretty bad, you shoulda seen me try to ride a bike afterwards smile.gif However, I loved to bike growing up, especially since I was into BMX. I may spend the cash and get a mountain bike to participate with you guys. Ht me up on AIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 bottom bracket? I think I'm due for a tube or two, though. when we doing this again? 3days w/o rain is a good gauge, today marks day 1. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I got hooked on biking again smile.gif Even though we were dodging lightning bolts it was a ton of fun. Being the first run of the season was tough, though...Berto and I had shitty traffic on 270 getting to Alum Creek, Berto's brake cable frayed and we had to fix that, Berto brought prescription sunglasses and we had to quit when a dark storm came through, Berto got assembly lube on his rear pads and couldn't stop properly...wait, I'm seeing a trend with one of our bikers here Seriously, TONS of fun by all and with the weather and late start on Friday evening we didn't get as much in as I would've liked to, but it was great and I'll happily do it again.

fush Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 You guys riding phase 1 or phase 2 at alum? I've been wanting to check out the new trail as I hear its pretty cool. Post again next time you go and I'll try to figure a way to get over there, even if I have to ride over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I have no clue where we biked, Jeff. Parts of the trail were a stone's throw from I-71, and one part used the old road long since flooded after the dam was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Jeff, we went to the left and just tooled around. I haven't been there in 5 years, and the suicide hill seems to have been closed and grown over. We'll have more daylight next time. I say we do this on a weekday again, after work, this will reduce our chances of running into, and over, other people on the trails. If you all need rush hour routes to it, let me know, I'm good at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fush Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Phase II is farther up the road so you must be talking about the old trails. Check out http://joinomba.org there are some trail maps on there. I swapped the slick off the bike for the knobbies and tuned up my fork so I'm ready to go. I hopefully won't cough out my lung since I haven't done any physical actvity in forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put super thick 5-10 dollar tubes and good liners in there, they would last forever. It's really just an area that can make your riding experience so much better at times for not that much money.
