Otis for idiots

[dirtrider2]

Otis ride this Sunday morning (3/15) 9:30am. We ride fast, slow, fast, stop and do stupid things and say hurtful things to each other, then ride fast again. We like to hit as many of the techie spots as we can before our collective lack of fitness catches up with us. Then we leave and grab lunch at some God-forsaken dive that some former SEMASS president insists is great. If this sounds good to you, come on along...

Meet at the usual parking area along Rte. 151. Some of us are meeting at Wendy's in Milford at 8:00am for the carpool thing.

Directions:

you forgot about the laps in the rotory because the SEMASS president didn't know where he was going

[ridefaster]

Sounds like there may be a group of us down there Sunday at 10.

[strangeland2]

My normal shameless begging... Any one going through Worc? I ll cover gas... Any one up for going out of their way to go through Worc I ll cover gas for that also. lol

10:00 sounds better than 9:30, do I hear 10:30?

[skunkty14]

Well I like Otis and I'm an idiot so I'm in. Really though you had me at saying hurtful things, the possibility of lousy directions and a dive is just an added bonus.

Mongoose you in too?

[crocketjr]

That sounds like my idea of good company and good times. I'll be there.

[jh_on_the_cape]

I rode otis yesterday and it was great! no snow. no mud.

[skunkty14]

Thanks for the beta JH, good to hear. Warmer air Sat. and Sun. should make for primo riding conditions.

[Mongoose]

I'm in. Time to get my money's worth out of this new helmet.

[chqm8]

I may make it.

I havn't been on a bike in about 10 months though so when I get dropped try not to say anything TOO hurtful. ;o)

[dirtrider2]

Not to worry! If Rich shows, he usually patches his tube once or twice a mile...

[C.P.]

I'm a maybe. Got some transportation issues to figure out. Rich is out skiing in Jackson Hole, WY.

[dirtrider2]

Get SloBo to drive ya! Andrew'd probably be happy to take a few hours off of Bo's verbal barrage...

[PutAwayWet]

I'll be there with a fellow migratory NH-ite. Not sure I know any of you, except C.P. who I think I rode with at a FOMBA SS ride years ago. If you see a black Tacoma with a cap or a RM Blizzard SS, come on over and say hello.

[woodsguy]

We are planning on joining you tomorrow. Andrew, do you still need a ride?

[Mongoose]

Great ride today!

[PutAwayWet]

Man, it was great out there today! Not sure who exactly it was I met out there at the top of the hill with the old wooden platform. If you guys had half as much fun as I did, it was a heck of a day :)

[woodsguy]

Yes, very good ride today. Much more xc than usual.

Awesome ride. PutAwayWet, I was the kid with Top Fuel at the top of the hill / wooden platform.

[PutAwayWet]

Good to meet you. If you're ever looking for a guide up in southern NH, just give me a shout.

[ridefaster]

Sure!

[DVRider]

Sooo... going back next weekend when I'm actually not overbooked? Or are you idiots afraid if the wrath of my linguistic skills on a bike?

[Aging Wannabee]

this thread, and the one about the left-behind backpack really show why mountain bike people are the best in the world. "slow, fast, slow.... hurtful things... wrath of my linguistic skills". Priceless.

[skunkty14]

I'll take my chances with your linguistic wrath if folks want to ride Otis again, I had a blast on Sunday. Plus dirtrider couldn't talk to much trash considering he forgot his shoes....to his credit he sucked it up and rode in borrowed sneakers anyway.

[DVRider]

rode in borrowed sneakers anyway.

Must have been Bo's :burndev:

[dirtrider2]

Have another, brother...

Anyway, great ride! Thank you Garrett, those shoes worked great! Lots of fun seeing some different mugs out there rather than just the normal motley bunch. Barnes did an awesome string up job once again!!

Dave

[Evil Chocula]

Sooo, who's up for Saturday?

[steve_b]

Sounds like he is referring to your (lack of?) shoe size......
:p

[steve_b]

Your "linguistic skills" need a little polishing, so far......

[C.P.]

I'm in for Sat AM. Let's make it a 9:30 Start shall we?

[Aging Wannabee]

Gonna try to make this one. Maybe get some of my direction-challenged greater Boston brethren to show as well. I'm all about Hurtful Things.

[aixelsyd]

I know our group rode past you guys just after the power lines and the boulder with the plank to get over it. I remember hearing about forgotten shoes(guy on a blue Mongoose?). Anyway we ended up riding about 7 miles in there but I only saw one other "stunt" that was rather tame compared to what we were hoping to see. Is there more stuff out there? I know from Greg's video that there are at least a couple other interesting moves. The guy leading us around leaned more to the XC side but had'nt ridden there in awhile.
Basically while the trails were a-lot of fun I was hoping for more of a challenge.

[skunkty14]

I second CPs call for 9:30am Saturday. Role call, who's in?

Aixelsyd, join us this weekend, while nothing huge in Otis I'm sure we can show you some of the more stupider stuff in there.

[dirtrider2]

Mongoose? I think not! I have a bike with far more cache...a Diamondback. Diamondback would never be sold in a bigbox store...uh...wait a minute...;^)

Looks like enough interest, so I posted a new ride thread (http://www.nemba.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23182).
