Prolly just a part-time roadie then. Real roadies scowl at everyone.

You can always tell... did he drop you like a rock when you took off? ;-)

I took off from the lights quickly and left him there, but my gears only go 42, 14-34. He musta set
off in a higher gear than 42/14. Within 60 seconds, he shot past me like I was stood still (I was
rolling about 20+ mph), up an incline, legs hardly moving. He was not part time.....heheheheh.......

I'm considering getting a road bike though for occas- sions where trails near me are wet and

I just put some street/fireroad tires on my old bike. Good for road

rides

Rode 40 mi. today - on a road bike. My first time ever and I was always at the end of the peloton.
🙂 It definitely is a lot more convenient (for me anyway) but definitely NOT as much fun (again
for me) as MTB. I'm considering getting a road bike though for occas- sions where trails near me
are wet and closed. I need to get in shape for the Tsali endurance ride - I want to ride bot Lef
and Right Loop.

So.... smell anything back there?

I painted the last one I saw green, sat down with a beer, and watched to see how long it would be
until another one bit it.

Shaun aRe - Morbid curiosities are mine.

Nice, the road is a good thing.

Zilla, the left and right loop are only about 23 miles...of smooth rolling ST. Please throw in the
Thompson and Mouse Branch for another 15 miles of smooth rolling ST. Then call it endurance.

I do however love those trails.

Peace,

Goin' back to Tsali to Tsali to Tsali I'm goin' back to Tsali...Nah I don't think so...

Thank you LL.

Hey, ease up on the Roadie crew. Contrary to popular belief a few bad apples won't upset the entire
apple cart/barrel.

Peace, Bill
