O.k.. I know what your thinking but weatherman says it will be in the mid to high 30's the next couple of days. This means that we might be able to get another ride in this week. I have a new mountain bike and am dieing for some fast single track! If your interested in getting together for a ride, email me at [email protected].

Hilltop

I rode up there this weekend and it was a muddy mess... I just got back from FNBP and the trails are frozen but it's pretty late. You might check out the temps at http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/mesonet.php before you go. I have to work so I can't join you

Anchorage Ride

Well, Sheila Balistreri (sp) says it's supposed to be 34 today. It's been soupy here in ER so I can imagine what the hillside looks like. I'm not opposed to getting muddy, but I don't want to cause serious damage to the trails. Anyone got any other trail suggestions? You can also e-mail me at [email protected]..

Kincaid might be an option

I've been riding at Kincaid all summer since the bear attack in FNBP in July. Most of my normal loop (Spencer Loop) is so hard-packed it doesn't get real muddy, even riding right after a rain. Only issue may be the occasional slide-out, as the trails get pretty slippery. I haven't ventured too far out from my "normal" area, parking at the Stadium parking area, but i've heard the other trails in the park are killer.

 

[thegerman]

Just got back from test riding my bike around campell airfield, trails are nice and packed down,
Slid out a couple times since i don't have spiked tires, but it was still hella fun!!!!!!
O and thanx for everyone who helped clean the trails!!

So is there a ride tomorrow?

ARMYGUYINAK,

So, is there going to be a ride on for tomorrow? Left your e-mail at work, so just wondering if any plans have been made. Sounds like a few people on this thread have shown interest - you still bringing your kid? Name a time & place and i'm on - preferably in the afternoon, after it "warms up" into the 30's.
