2nd Thoughts

Well, since VanDirt can't make the Chilly Willie ride... maybe it can be postponed.

Actually, it looks to be on the breaking point of single digit weather for this weekend; colder than I had hoped and the coldest air for these parts in several years. Anyone even remotely interested in venturing out into the cold for this? If so, bring the duct tape for your shoes. Me? I may have to settle for my standard 4 mile "dance on the frozen tundra" run on Saturaday morning.

Links Added

Guys,
I added VanDirt's links to the left.
Looks like Saturday's ride will be COLD!

VanDirt is in the house!

Hey what's up with leaving out the "Jammin'" Jamis?

Check out these North Carolina websites:

www.mtbikewnc.com
This site has lots of information about the area and the trails.

http://www.sirbikesalot.com
This site has lots of pictures and videos of the trails.

Elly = Mr. Ellsworth

My guess is Tim! Do I win for a correct guess?! Sorry, been in the back of my head for days and I just made the connection. Plus the pic he posted explains his MMBA forums identity... yellow_mtb. Bonus points??!

CSGA encouragement

Hey, guys, I found this photo on the MMBA wesite under Cannonsburg State Game Area. No, I don't know who this is, but, hey, we can do that, right?

I'll be there pending approval from the family activities director.

CSGA!

Well, Cannonsburg State Game Area re-opens for the 2007 season on Feb 1st! I would like to propose a tenative ride on Feb 3rd pending untollerable weather conditions... like golfball-sized hail.

The long-range weather reports shows a high of 23 (13 low - brrr) with a 40% chance of snow. Sunday is better with a high of 27 (21 low) and 20% chance of snow.

If no one is up for the cold temps and fluffy whites coming from above then I may resort to taking a half day on Friday (partly sunny) and go it alone. Though the last time I did CSGA in the frigid cold I managed to snap my front tooth off... but I was a whole lot dumber then... right guys? Guys?

I'm in here too... My first bike. ARGGGGH!! what was I thinking?

Up, up and AWAY!!!

So here we go... up, up and away!!! Actually, I'm making sure for Harv that others can post as well. This would be a resounding, "YES!" for him and all you others to try it out.

The photo? That's my bro back in the day when we were jumping to the height of swingsets on our BMXers! This is his best rendition of ET....

2007 NC trip dates set

Does this photo from last April look like we're having fun? This evening we had a dinner meeting to get the ball (or wheel?) rolling for this year's North Carolina bike trip. Thank-you, Tim & Kim, for hosting and the great food. Thanks also to JP for providing the hamburger meat.

We're planning on extending the bike trip one more day. Instead of leaving on Thursday night, we'll leave on Wednesday night, April 18, after work. We'll drive all night, arrive at a campsite Thursday morning and ride our bikes as much as we can until heading home Monday, April 22. Block out your calender now.

Marc is planning on driving his motorhome. The tentative list is Marc, JP, Harv, Eric, Brian, & Tim. Rusty, too? Roque? Anybody else? Time to get in shape!

We saw the DVD/slideshow on last year's trip on Tim's computer that Brian & Joni put together. Awesome! Tim's working on making copies.

Dirt Dads in North Carolina

Here's Marc, Eric, Tim, JP, & Brian on the Left Loop of the Tsali trails last April. Good times. Photo by HP. Meeting tomorrow at Tim's to plan this year's trip.

The Beginning

Hello Dirt Dads!
At the suggestion of Twilyhead, I've started a blog for our Dirt Dads mountain biking group. A few weeks ago I uploaded a bunch of photos to a Yahoo website (I'll add the link once I figure this blog thing out) but I want to see if this might be a better way to share photos AND dialogue. Let me know at dirtdads@yahoo.com.
