The Second One

Ringwood. 3 of us from Sid's...Me, Paul & Alberto. 3 Great customers...Dan, Frank, & Santiago (from Spain). Lots of rocky, leafy miles and spills. Thanks to all who attended. Great ride. Old and creaky the day after.

Santiago teaching us the Spanish Climbing Technique

2 Good Rides.

Bregt and I rolled out to Glacier Ridge for a spin last Saturday. Great, leafy conditions.

Ramapo to Ringwood Crusher

It had been awhile, but we hit it hard. Parked at Skyline Drive and rode the Cannonball & yellow trail to Ringwood, then the green trail around Ringwood and back to Ramapo. 4 + hours on the trail. All rocks and wet leaves. Brutal and fabulous. Loved every minute of it.

MD Day 3

After 2 days of riding with the big posse of 8 and 9 riders, I connect with JW for a ripping Patapsco ride in Baltimore. As we suit up trailside JW realizes that his shoes are sporting cleats for the pedals that are not on his bike. A small adventure ensues and we end up visiting our friend Simone at the Bike Doctor to remedy the problem. 1 pair of SPD cleats later and it's business time. We rode most of the Avalon side of the park and it was superb! Great trail conditions and high water crossings...

Hi, is Simone around?

The outer loops... Morning Choice

JW Log Ride

3 days in row of Tranny shredding

Water crossing on the way back up and out

It was great time and thanks to all the crew that came out to rip it up MD style!

MD Day 2

Back on the home turf at Schaeffer with my Bro and a revised crew from Day 1. After knowing Pape for nearly 30 years (damn I'm old!) we get our first ride in together....

Suiting up in the lot and it's crowded as the temp goes up towards 70.
Lorenzo, Nile, Konandale, Edwinn Starr etc...

Pape's Arrival!

3 Great Rides In MD...

I rolled down to Maryland for some riding with my brother and the hometown crew. It was excellent fun and the weather was perfect. By day 3 it was in the low 70s.....in November!

Happy Halloween Ride!

Halloween on a weekend night is always crazy in NYC! We started off Friday night with a trip to Woodstock for a reggae session with The Mighty Diamonds! It was awesome! Saturday was the last day that Rocky Point was open for the season so we made our final trip out there for 2009....and it was well worth it. 20 miles of haulin' ass with Bregtje, Paul, and Austin.
