Set up ready to go in the morning with one of my old riding buddies ! Hope I made the right pick due to fact we had rain on and off all day and the Cuda is set up for more dry riding than the single speed...but I have not had her out in a very long time. Hope you guys get some good riding in the weekend and have a good time..be safe though Cya !

No ride for me on Memorial Day. It was pouring down raining all day.

Sorry to read you got all the rain Monday, we thought that it might hit us a little Monday but made the ride and had a very small amount of rain later in the day. But the issue with the tires I run on the Cuda could have got me if it was not for the fact that what trail the club has made at the Park for the most part of the 6 1/2 ..7 mile ride was thru palmetto root and stumps ,SLOW RIDING, sure T knows about riding that crap, not sure if you guys to the far west and north have had the pleasure....think 5 1/2 to 6 miles of rock garden type riding..slow and really working the body. Bad part is I am so out of shape, after a number of miles I could not stay out of the saddle nor lift and place the front of the bike where I need it to work over the next log....yes I whine like a little b***h and had to dismount and move the bike to a area large enough to get rolling again a few times....I will return and keep doing so till I make it with, lets be real, a small amount of whine !
I hope they add more, but some nice flow through the trees...that is what I need before I can even think of going back to the old limestone quarry riding like I did back when I was in shape

You know that may just work if I mount it to the frame a few inches above the ground...that way when I fall over it will catch me...I could mount my prune juice holder and a first alert to it as well...would so hate to fall down and not be able to get up !

By the way Derek...I did not fall over or wreck once...yes I stuff the front wheel into roots and stumps a few times but was able to balance the bike and unclip to step off...I said I was out of shape...never said I could not ride any longer. You know, with all those decades that I have been around...damn young whippersnapper !

Okay fine Vinny...
we'll give you a moment to catch your breath...
please though to satisfy my curiosity...
can you point out the difference between a root and a stump when you were stuffing her?!!!
Hee-hee...
I love the tasty hint of a stretched belly button peeking out the bottom of the muumuu... delicious!
