Anybody from the Albany NY area?

Hi guy's I thought I would finally chime in on this thread, it's getting pretty long. Russ, it sounds like you had a good time at the HS. I can't wait to get the 300 up there and try her out.
Knobby, I had the white Ridgeline at the first work party. I think we may have met but that was the first time I was at Catra and I met a lot of people. We have to plan on all meeting up real soon. Saturday is out for me but the next weekend should be good if all goes well.
It's time for work, gtg.

Probably 5pm. That would be the earliest I could make it. If I was out at 4 and had everything at work with me. But that causes problems cause the guys I work with see it and think I get to do what I want, so on and so forth. Ok 5:30, so I can go home and pick up the bike.. Just a thought. Russ, we also do some riding at a location, close to your work,that I cannot disclose at this time. I have been sworn to secrecy, you need to be initiated into the circle of trust to get the code. This may be better if you can bring the bike to work.

Yeah, I would bring it with me. It would be great if the spot was a little closer than catra.
I hope this initiation doesn't start with me drinking a gallon of keg beer and end with me saying "thank you sir may I have another" :ohmy:

Hey Mike, Thanks for stopping by! What model did you get XC or XC/W?

Russ, I saw you on Rt7 this afternoon with that end of the day mowing dust and I worked too hard look on your face. Have a beer. Where is your shop?

 

[KDXruss]

The shop is on Lisha Kill. Where on Rt 7 did you see me? White Truck,red trailer, couple of Toro's?
So much pollen and dust flying around today. We need some rain. And I think were gonna get some too.

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

I saw you in front of Keeler. I'll talk to you about riding as you are very close by, like within feet.

I take it you are a "fair" weather rider ? :nod:

I guess you could say I like riding better when the weather's nice but I'm always out unless it's pouring rain.
Someday I'll get some rain gear..........

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

Do you have today off? Or is it maintenance Day?

Had the day off! Just got back from a two hour ride on my local trail in the rain Knobbie. Had a blast blitzing around in the mud :)
Now I'm drinking beer. Life is good.

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

Good for you , I got home at 4:30. Salary is tuff.

I bet you had fun, too ! I wish I could have been there too.

 

[KDXruss]

Yeah, the little trail down the road from my house is pretty not bad. It's a sled trail, basically flat, wide. Different than catra, clay based soil with flat rocks, not round. Mostly 3rd and 4th gear. Roughly 4 miles back and forth. The local atv rednecks must love it, lot's of tracks and beer cans.

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

Russ tomorrow afternoon may not be so bad. Post if your riding.

No ride for me today.

Maybe paddle tires and strap it to a log. Tow it with a trailer and swim next to it. If it stops raining maybe a day in Nkuna. It has 2 water crossings that were deep before it rained, but most of it is sandy. Should be fun I'll keep ya posted.

I'll be watching. Stay dry.

Why are you home so early? You have way to easy of a job for a landscaper. 60 hrs per week min. Unless you travel with a laptop so the boss can keep tabs on ya, then ouch. Maybe Thursday would be a good day to ride. or swim or whatever.

 

[knobbiethrower]

We may have to call the next trail ride this weekend the submarine trail ride, if this weather keeps up.

This will really help out the black flies (teeth with wings!)

See Dave, this is why your so angry and grumpy all the time. All work and no play makes Dave a dull boy. :)
