Lowell-Dracut SF Ride Sunday 10/8

[BG]

If you would like to take the time to explore Lowell-Dracut and also take the time to play on most of the trail features we usually ride quickly over or around on Tues nights, then meet Sunday morning at 9:30, Trotting Pk Rd lot, Lowell, Ma (off Varnum Ave)
We'll take the time to play on everything once, twice, thrice and beyond untill we get it right.

Look OUT I GOT NO BRAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BG]

No Brakes...That's crazy talk. Let me know if you need parts. I've got a drawer full of rim stuff and i could pull a disk off one of the "spare" bikes 'till you get the new stuff.

What an awesome ride. If I had a sandwich and a couple more tubes, it would have been even better.

Wish'd I could've made it, but Sunday ended up being the sacrificial day for house chores.

[Slappy]

Awesome ride - wish I'd brought along some grub too. I was wiped out when I got back to the lot. Trying to keep up w/ Kirk for a mile or two damn near killed me. :)

And thanks again for the tube BG - it was like the Tour de Pinchflat out there.

Any pics from that ride? I actually made it over with the family (wife and young sons) for a ride. We made it about halfway through the original Gumpus trail before turning back. Got a bit rocky in sections for them, but still fun. Waved to someone in a matching MDX on the way out and it looked like quite a few people were there... Great day for a ride.

[BG]

Sorry guys, the pics i took all came out blurred. I will have to reset my camera for better results. Any body else get some worth posting?
Was a great laid back ride, hope everyone found something new to play on out there during our excursion. We'll be setting up a plan for trail building/maintenance for next season soon and we're hoping to continue with our progress.
Was a great day for a ride... though not a great day for tubes for sure.

Ouch. Bad day to pick for house chores. I got out to do the Groton Secrets / Mit Haystack / Sledgehammer ride with James V and about a dozen other riders. I bailed after about 18 miles. James stayed behind and may still be out there for all I know.

This is all I have. I was too busy breathing to dig the camera out..

Are we riding this sunday?

[kgoldswo]

Hi Barry, BG & I made plans to ride LDT tomorrow. Can you make it?

[MTBME]

I'll be attending a NEMBA board meeting and ride at Harold Parker this Sunday which will pretty much keep me busy the whole day.

[SofaKing Fast]

Yes I can. I have to be home at 1.
