The Month of Mud mountain bike race series starts this weekend. You can get info. on this and other race listing at www.dirtragmag.com. Also, the Month of Mud specifically is found at www.gorocket.com. (you click on the bike apparel photo). If anyone's interested in trying one of these, some are less 'technical' than others. Feel free to post questions or comments.
It seems the weekday riding has dropped off. Our trusty leader John is busy writing a novel or other worthy literature. For me, keeping up with the 'A' group was like doing a race. Since I want to be a little fresh for the weekend mountain biking, I cut back on the group rides.
However, if anyone's interested in a more moderate paced road or mountain bike ride during the week or even a run (5-10 miles) let me know. Also, I'm interested in finding the local Shenango Lake mountain bike loop. This might be the way to break in some mtn. bike newbies?
Finally, I hope this is appropriate for this forum. That said, I'm selling a Specialized Epic mountain bike. I'm told it rides beautifully, but I've found it a little on the heavy side for this girl. Also, I'm used to a hardtail (no rear suspension) and the Epic is a full-suspension ride. It's an attractive dark smokey grey with red lettering. Meanwhile, I may go back to my old bike if I can get it working (no small task since I'm technically challenged). If anyone's interested in the Specialized, contact me at paula_bittler@hermitage.k12.pa.us. I plan to post it on e-bay soon but thought I'd mention it here first.
Happy Fall to All!

Actually- short notice, but I am riding tonight if anyone is interested. I leave around 5:15-5:20 from my office (not much daylight to leave later). Anyone interested can email me at mbianco@samuel.com.
It is hard to get out, but I sqeeze some riding in- I am coaching soccer, and with limited day light- it is tough. Not looking forward to winter!

if you would like to do the lake loop sometime this week i am down for that. you will have to give me a buzz and let me know when you would like to go. for me it is usually a pretty good ride, no matter how it is sliced. i actually had plans to try and ride that loop twice this week, but haven't gotten to it. I may (if i feel up for it) go for a ride around there tonight. I wanted to try and do it with a time trial sense of mind though. Anything will work as I have now had another two days off.
Note: Month of Mud is a great place to start mtn biking. they have classes that suit all and terrain to challenge more. some races aren't as difficult as others, but most are usually muddy (hence month of mud). If anyone is considering trying any of these the beginner class is excellent for you.
to reiterate what paula says here, post comments or mail these folks if you have any interest in getting on two wheels over the next couple of months.
talk again later....

Harm,
Ryan's 're-building' my old bike and has the Specialized too, so I don't have a bike for the lake loop this week until he's done.
I do want to see where it goes. If I'm lucky, you'll get your speedwork out of the way BEFORE we do a lake loop, maybe next week?
