    Maybe we could form some kind of lawn care support group. Some dude wants to go ride but he needs to mow his grass, he puts out a distress signal. a group of guys show up like a urban assult team, whip out the yard work (I think we might be able to come up with enough tools), jump back in the trucks and their off. The guy says look hun. what I did and she says OH that's great you should go ride your bike and she's nun the wiser.

    Scott County Park and Single Speeds go together like peas and carrots.

    All 2 of us had a great 15ish mile ride yesterday. We are planning on doing it again next week, weather permitting, either Monday or Thursday.

    Thank you to the guys that are out there trimming back the trails. Much appreciated.

    Tell your neighbors you are going for the "prairie" look and let it go! I've been having to mow weekly, which is crazy for CO so I can only image what you guys are going through to keep the yard in line.

    Currently on my to-do list:
    1. Get shoulder healed up.
    2. Set the Jamis up in SS mode.
    3. Ride said Jamis in SS mode.

    for those shifty folks who do not have SS (single speeds) you are more than welcome to come out and ride, just no shifting allowed, pick a gear and stick with it . Just kidding come out and do what you darn well like to do (ride your bike).

    see Ya there 5:30 or there abouts.
