Nice course, well the first part that is. The climb up Canada Hollow is going to be a bear on the SS. See you March 15th

Thursday night ride recap

Clown, Mooch, Greg (new guy in Cburg) and I crossed 233 and did Half Track, Lost Creek, Lee's Rocks, the Narrows and Park Trail. The guys loved hiking on Half Track so much that they came up with some new names! It was nice riding at night without lights for the first hour. Heck, it wasn't even cold!

I emailed Sandie about our ride. She says - "I want to ride Ass Crack too!!" Hmmm...

Big Log

It's no wonder

It's no wonder nobody ever rides with these guys on Thursday nights. Can you believe they took a new guy on Lee's Rocks and the Narrows IN THE DARK.

Actually the new guy Greg was on a sweet Vassago 29er hardtail and was well prepaired to ride Michaux. Thanks for riding with us Greg.

Shed on Sunday

Off the reservation this Sunday for the bravehearted.

Thursday Night Ride

Big Log ,the Mooch and myself will be leaving the Mont Alto parking lot @ 5:00. It will be a mellow pace and the weather will be great. Even if you don't have lights you can get an hour and a half ride in.

RIDE

SUNDAY Pine Grove Furnace.......Meet at the Furnace Parking lot.......Ride time 9am.......I'm not sure if I will be there(not that it maters) . If you can't get a T- Shirt I have socks in my possession for 5 bucks.

T-Shirts

Funny how the T-shirt poll turned out - 34 voters on how I was spending their T-shirt money when only 14 people have actually ordered a shirt. If you want one, go to BikeReg and order it now. For those 14 who have already ordered you will have your choice of two designs: the regular Michaux shirt and the limited edition "PABIKER Stole My T-Shirt Money" design. I will send an email those who have that option. After 3/1 you can purchase the regular "Michaux" T-shirts only via my Blog (at a much higher price) - happy shopping!

Michaux Mash Preride on Saturday

Michaux Mash

I have seen more than one question concerning what the course is like. Well, if you're curious, come out on Saturday, Feb 28, and see what it is.

We will meet and start from the boat launch parking lot off Milesburn Road at Long Pine Reservoir. Ride start time is 9:00 so please be ready to ride by 9:00. We will ride up Milesburn Road to Ridge Road to the actual race start and then ride one lap of the course as a group. After the first lap, if people want to, they can ride it again at their own pace. One lap is 9 miles. We will ride 2-3 miles to reach the course start.

Please let us know if you plan to show up. We will only wait at the start for those that RSVP!

The race proceeds go to help support the Cyclesports Fast Forward Developmental Mountain Bike Team.

Do it for the kids!

Yet another big bike

I think you may have joined the cult before I did, T. Here's my new baby.

Latest Clown Bike

I finally got a picture of my Clown Bike. Even after riding it I still consider it a clown bike. My only regret is getting in too late and not getting a good Clown name. all the good ones have already been taken.......Bozo....Clara Bell.........Crusty.

Color Change

I changed the format and color. I couldn't handle the dark brown and pink anymore. I hope this is acceptable to everyone.

I've seen the light. 29er's rule. SS ain't too far behind. Thanks Jody for being the cool guy that you are and letting me ride your extra SS clownbike for awhile. Now if I can only coerce the Mrs. into letting me get one or maybe two...
