Looking for locals! Arcadia Ride 7/3/03

[MTBer]

;DI'll be in Providence on Augest 2nd for a convention that week. My partners are all going Golfing I want to ride Arcadia, so I'm bringing my RIDE. I can ride on the 3rd. I've posted on MTBR but I figured I try here too. According to map quest it should only take about (30 minutes) to get to Arcadia RD from Warwick. "Pending getting lost" I think I'm staying at a Hotel called the Royal Crown Plaza or something like that. I have an extra rail for a bike if someone needs a ride or If I could follow someone to get there that would be great. If there is anyone with information or wants to tag along and show an out of towner around arcadia that would be great. I found one person on MTBR(Twilight Error) that has showed some interest. He suggested a 25 mile trek that I'm interested in, I'm just waiting for him to get back so I can get a meeting place on Arcadia road. I think a 9am meeting time would be good. E-mail me or POST. looking forward to hearing from many. 8)

:) Hey Mark, Glad to get a reply from you. I also have one from one other person, I will call him at a bike shop tomorrow(7/29) to make sure he wants to go. I also would like to hook with you for the ride. I will do the oraganizing to get all of us at the same place. Where are you from? E-mail me at mtbacair@comcast.net for more information, where I'll be satying on my buisness vacation. Get back soon. (#ETC).

Dawgee, Agent Grape, Ms. Dawgee, myself and MTBer met out at Browning Mill Pond for this ride. I think all involved had a good time, though it took a little while for the haze to lift for some on the ride ;)

There's some nice riding out there at Arcadia. The trails were in great condition. There was a little mud, but not enough to cause any problems. My bike came out pretty clean. Once again rode some trails I hadn't before. Humidity ruled the day.

As always Agent Grape did a nice job of leading the ride - thanks Mark!

No pics, didn't bring the camera...

[AGENTGRAPE]

maybe the following weekend. i will going to pedrofest this weekend. going to try chairlift assisted riding for the forst time. as always a good time in arcadia. i have tried to call andrew but havent got an answer yet...............

[Dawgee]

You think he passed out from blood lose? LOL Have fun at Perdofest. Were going to hit Mt snow saturday god i love that place.

[Jisch]

Yeah - that's a bit of a haul for me to get down there, but I could probably do something in a couple of weeks once the family is back and settled in. Breakheart would be cool - as would the top of Mt Tom. Only when its dry though.

i exchanged voicemails w/andrew yesterday.he sounds ok and was in good spirits. john the next time you come down to ride maybe i will use my lighter bike and try to make the climb up mt tom. dawgee are you going to build the v10 just for downhill use? or maybe an occasional arcadia bomb. i will scour the internet and see if there are any deals on monster t's

[Dawgee]

Im thinking it would be fun to do some trail bombing with the V10. Id hate to climb with it but im not to smart anyway LOL Thanks for looking for deals for me youre the balls
