I have the rest of the week off and was wondering if anyone rides BC during the week in the morning or mid-day. Would love to get a guide any day this week if anyone is able to. If not, I will see what availablility I have for the weekend and maybe we could set something up then.

Thanks

The hard part is my wife works into the evening, we have 2 kids and I live probably an hour away from BC, so it would be too late for me by the time I got there, so I was throwing it out there hoping someone else had a day off or rides in the morning or over lunch.

If not during the week, I will see what availablility I have this weekend and post up on times I could ride sat or sun.

Blaine,

I could probably swing a wednesday or thursday morning ride beginning at 7:30 or 8, then just head into work a little late. Let me know what you think and I'll check it out on my end.

Either day would be great! I think its supposed to be dry both of those days. And 7:30 or 8 would be fine.

If you guys decide on Thursday I'd like to join. I'd be a BC first timer.

Blaine, If instead you & Troy ride Wed, I'd be open to riding at BC or elsewhere on Thurs.

Okay you guys, and anyone else interested. . .


Let's say 7:30 Thurs. morning at the BC Rec Center parking lot off of Winthrop.

Sound like a plan?

Sounds good.

Edit: I have a tentative confirmation from another too so that'll make at least four.

If anybody in interested in setting up a weekly scheduled ride at BC in the evenings during the week, I would love to help make it happen. I rode BC first time last night with Troy and Raj, so I am would love to ride it a couple of more times, it really does have a little of everything!

By the way, is anyone interested in riding Afton with me this weekend, I need someone to help pull me up them climbs!

Thanks Troy & Scott for showing the way and for your patience. Nice trail but definitely one where a guide is helpful the first time.

Scorecard:
BC-3; Xen visor, Moab top tube, Laggard elbow - 0;
Ahh, good times.

Blaine,
You missed some good riding frequently interrupted as the 3 strong riders waited for me to catch up.

I need to go back through the buffet line and load up on a heaping helping of climbing legs and riding skill. Ahhh well . . .

Thanks for a great ride you guys! It was definitely nice to be out early in the morning.

Scott, seeing and riding with you was a nice surprise.

Kurt, no worries about holding us up. It's just nice to be out riding with a good group of people. You did great. BC can throw a lot at you when you first ride it.

Nice meeting and riding with you John!
