I'd be up for a ride any day after about 3. Except M-W-F. I'm off work at 2, and could be there by 3. Weekends are normally open, but I do events for another group. We could arrange something in advance. 6:30 is late for me, because I get up so early. I can make that time, but then I pretty much have to go to bed as soon as I get home. Always looking for people to ride with regardless.

cell phone coverage at mohican

anybody get coverage while riding at the state park?

i have virgin mobile and get coverage just south of st rt 79 and in loundenville but absolutely none while riding on the trail or in the campground

i notice while camping at the state park that plenty of teens had no problem with reception but didn't ask what carrier they went through

Those damned mites were an anomaly. Prolly won't see them again for 20 years or so.

Damn Steaksauce, my back and wrist hurt just looking at your seat/bar set up! I do love your winter beaters though. Cool Landcruisers and Audis!

BTW, Giant is really no better/worse than Trek. Everyone like to pick on Goliath.

Free bump.

actually i havent broken a rail yet but they keep bending

i'd like to thank my sponsers

i'm starting to think i may have to plunk down the $$$ and get me an I-beam saddle

i'm hoping for a cheaper solution

My main sponsors are Miller Lite, Wendy's and any local Mexican restaurant. I've never bent a rail. Get yourself a high quality seat and hang on to it. It will be money well spent. It will be lighter, stronger and more comfortable. Cheap seats are about worthless for "real" cycling.

Also, make sure to get up out of the saddle when you need to. Sometimes you just need to put a little extra weight on your feet to take a little weight off the saddle.
