    Default Illiniwek ?

    If the rain holds out, let's ride early. How about 9 AM? Is that too early on a Sat.?

    I just did a lap tonight and there are two trees across the trail; one on the north loop and one on the south loop. There are also some trees that we didn't get Thursday because we didn't have a saw. Finally, there is a large log we need to drag off of the trail with a come along. If someone wants to bring the tools we can clear them and ride afterwards.

    yeah, my fault there again, along with the no bridge on thursday. and not calling jb tonight, just remebered that. (called him - about transporting the bridge) if anyone wants to take the time. i might as well just plan on going with you all in the morning and not to sbp to ride, stopping at rays to load up the bridge and then a ride afterwards.

    how long is the loop, and how bad are the laps. i am racin in waverly on sunday, dont wanna work too hard tomorrow, just get in a few gentle? laps....

    post up of call me before 8:30 tomorrow morning so i know wether to get the bridge from ray. already talked with him, that's no problem, he'll be around.

    the wheels on my bike go round and round......

    Dru_b, let me know when to meet you at Ray's to transport the bridge.

    The lap is around 3 miles currently and the south loop climb is not too bad with a granny gear. The north loop up/down isn't yet completed so a hike a bike will probably be required for ~20 yds. We can do a few laps on both the north and south loops without doing much climbing. A lot of the current trail is rolling with a few 20-30 foot grunts up top.

    I just looked at the radar and it isn't looking good. I'm already getting light rain. I better just stay home.
