After my first crash at Patpasco park, I don't think I feel too good about riding alone :skep:
Any low-mid level riders out there for weekday rides?

FYI, Patpsco park is located in Ellicott City, MD

was the trail pretty muddy? hope it dries by tomorrow
not at all, conditions were great. we rode out morning choice to cascade, crossed the bridge to go up & down the baltimore county side, where i inadvertently parked my bike in between 2 trees as i went over the bars. i then rode my bent & wobbley front wheel down soapstone, crossed up to the 4-way & back to rockburn via morning choice.

That will work.

i'll be leading a ride from rockburn (inside near fields 7 & 8).
Clymber, I'm not too familiar with the trail yet to know where fields 7&8 are. Is that the first parking lot you hit, when you start from rolling rd Park&ride?

Greg, if you know where fields 7&8 are, maybe we can start from Rolling rd Park&ride and meet up with clymberboy.

I think 5pm will be ideal for everybody to get there after work. I'll be on a white Orbea hardtail or silver plished Jamis Dakaar FS.

This could be ugly

& riding a purple SS 29er.
Damn clymber, SS 29er? Am I gonna make it out of the woods riding with you guys? I don't know if I can hang with you guys, but I guess you never know till you try. I'll see you at 4:45pm, picnic area 7&8, on a hardtail.
 
Tough to admit this:

When I got home my hands were shaking as I scrambled together two PBJ's. I've never eaten so fast in all my life.

Good ride. Can't wait to do it again...after I sleep through the winter I should be rested enough.
