Leb Night Group Ride 10/12 @ 6:45pm

[gopherhockey]

Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us and we'll get in another Thursday night ride.

Meet at the lot. Ride starts at 6:45 sharp.

Post up if you can make it so we know who to watch for before we head out.

Might be the last Thursday night ride before the leaves are "taken care of" so if you like riding in it now's your chance.

[bigwheel]

I'm in.

I'll be bringing the new LED "Light Brite" stadium lights again, for those of you who missed it last night.

Say bob, do you notice a strobe-light effect from LEDs at high speeds?

I just tested out my halogen homebrew light based on your designs, and it worked great at the STUPID ride. I guess I'm hopelessly behind the technology curve.

[tedsti]

Me too, I want to ride. Can I, huh, can I please???????

Highs in the 30s, might just have to bring out some post ride warmth.

[bigwheel]

Say bob, do you notice a strobe-light effect from LEDs at high speeds?

No. I'm only using LEDs on my bars. Still have halogen on my helmet. At high speeds, I'm relying primarily on the helmet light.

I wonder if the LEDs you were using had a chopper circuit, or does not have a big enough capacitor on the voltage regulator. LEDs switch on/off so fast that a slow circuit can be visible to your eyes.

My current prototype setup just has a resistor for current control, so there is no chopping.

Glad it worked. My LED setup is still in prototype form, and took a very long time to build. The "in crowd" still uses halogen.

[jkalla]

I think I can make this one - let's hope it stays dry - I can ride in the cold.

[manual63]

We might have snow on the ground by then. Yeah, it will probably melt...but still. Isn't it a bit early for snow to be in the forecast??

For the cities I think it is... from where I grew up, its about right.

I just hope we don't get a sloppy wet mess out there that soaks into the leaves and won't allow the trail to dry out.

[manual63]

Yeah, a sloppy wet mess might cause me to do this:

Oh wait, I didn't need a sloppy wet mess to do that....:)

[Kayakoholic]

Sure. I'll give it a shot. What the hell. What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. I'll need to borrow some proper lights though.

I'll be in the black Toyota Corolla with the weird kayak carrier on top.

I'll throw a spare homebrew on the charger. It's not pretty, though. Maybe someone else can bring a "real" light that we can put on your helmet.

Do you have a seat bag?

Are you talkin' to me? If so, I gotta a seat bag.
Here's a question that's been plaguing me. Is this going to be a full-hammered, balls-out screamer of a ride or will it swing to the slightly moderate scale being that it's going to be dark?

[manual63]

There is a little of both. But you will be fine because the group waits up and makes sure everyone sticks together. So don't fear...come and ride and enjoy!!

[mara]

Unless the crisis of the week folks send me something more interesting than last week, I'll be there and really needing a ride. The only screaming I'll be doing is less about hammering and more about falling backwards off Jan's Rock :crazy2:

[CookieMonster]

I'm going to miss this one :cryin: Darn sisters and weddings!!

I missed last Thursday due to a wedding. We must stop this nonsense! :crazy2:

[ibismojo2001]

If the conditions permit (as well as my work schedule), I may make my first night ride. Whoa...Spooky!! :D Good thing I am not afraid of the dark.

[jeffgude]

Probably wont be there as I'l be gathering gear for the summit campout.

[gopherhockey]

There was snow on the ground just SE of Leb, but then it was dry as I drove north. I'm thinking we can still ride... BRRRRRRR... it seems early to be this cold.

[Kayakoholic]

At the risk of sounding like a whimp...I'm bailing on the ride tonight. Brrrrr!!!!! Waaaaaah!!!! **whining**

On the bright side though, we are in the midst of Global Warming. I'll try to make it next Thursday since the Earth is getting warmer not colder.

Don't let the media fool you... the ozone is repairing itself and we're moving into another ice age. Soon we'll have 30 degree rides in July! ;)

Sorry you won't make it. Catch ya next time...

I hope it's for a legitimite reason, and not just because it is cold out. The next 5 months are going to be colder than this, so you may as well start getting used to it. Plus, the extra layer of clothes works well for protecting your skin during a fall.

Being a kayaker, I'm sure you have paddled the north shore rivers in the spring, when you have ice chunks floating next to you. ...or the rivers in Colorado, which are fed by snow melt, and always cold.

This isn't as bad. You won't get an ice cream headache on a mountain bike.

Tonight, all you'll need to do is throw a pair of long johns under your normal biking clothes and bring full-finger (not winter) gloves. You'll be fine. IMO, this is the best time of the year for mountain biking.

Ah, yes. The ice cream headache of the spring meltdown. You know you're kayaking vernacularities. Ever consider getting back into it? A Class IV run produces a better high than cocaine...except it's not as healthy. :D

The truth is, and I speak truthfully because although I don't know any of you (yet), but I feel I'm amongst kindred souls, I fear pain. Since I have yet to clean that new rock garden of death in DAYLIGHT I think my chances of doing it at night is a prescription for a trip to the ER. I'll practice it this weekend and be there next Thursday fer-sur. You have my kayaker's word on that!

[gopherhockey]

You have to be kidding me! Next we'll have mountain lions and will have to carry bells on our bikes when we ride.

I have no doubt Bob's bell would be the biggest... ;)

[tedsti]

There will be plenty of people who will not clean everything, so don't let that stop you.

I do miss it a lot, but I'll probably not go back. There is so much fun stuff to do, and so little time. The problem is that you have to cut down on your breadth of activities if you want to be good at any one of them.

If you are worried about Ted's curve, just take the ride-around tonight. Nobody will ridicule you. Besides, this weekend is the summit, and I don't know of Leb being on their list.

[bigwheel]

Excellent :banana:

I have a handlebar light (old homebrew, not pretty) ready to go. John L has a helmet light for you.

Bring your seat bag (for the handlebar battery) and a camelback (for the helmet battery) if you have one.

Marie - That's the spirit!!! I plan to make this evening my first night ride as well.

All I have is a helmet light but will rely on the HID and LED homebrews to lead the way.

I'll be the guy in the 1970s snowmobile suit on an orange singlespeed. Well, ok, at least on an orange single. Damn that suit would sure come in handy tonight if I still had it.

See you then! BRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

Just remember, you don't have to out run (ride) the bear, you just have to ride faster than the folks you are with (or push them down) :D

see you guys tonight. No ice needed in the beer cooler for sure.

[bikeoutback]

I'm thinking about trying to make the second lap tonight even though I really have yardwork that should be done so I'm a maybe I guess at this point.

Question: I've got a decent hancle on clothes (I hope) but it looks like it's gonna be about low 30s windchill roughlty high 20s around ride time and I'm not sure what the best approach is for the feet? I just bought mtn biking shoes and they have mesh on the top, so I'm assuming I'll be alright if I can somehow fit a light wool sock on or should I consider putting my platforms back on with a heavier shoe/sock combo?

[tedsti]

For the feet, wool socks go a long way. Putting some duct tape over the toe vents on your shoes also helps a lot.

Haaaaaa!!! You are just bad Bob! Last night we got our new batteries and and dropped them off at Batteries Plus for the work. Al's picking them up after work, but they still have to be charged. Soooo, as much as we want to be there, we are dependent on these batteries. We will try...!!!

I can do it. I collided with a deer in the Black Hills in May. It was nothing.

I love it! Temps have barely broken 30 today and we're getting more new riders.

Gotta love living and riding in Minnesota!

The way I see it, the more snow that falls, the more cushioned my falls will be. Blizzard conditions, bring it!

[jkalla]

I'll be there as well. My first night ride this year and only third time at Lebanon this year.

There may be some competition for slowest rider / most falls.

[bigwheel]

Sounds like another fun ride in the making. However, someone is going to need to check to make sure the trail is rideable, and make a last-minute post.

Hopefully the snow will stop so that I don't have to either wear glasses or do the blink-blink thing that usually preceeds a high-speed crash.

I will head by the trail on my way home and post up around 4:30ish...

Everyone should make one last check here before heading out *just in case*

Great idea, Bob. I think you should do it!!!

[bikeoutback]

It's been snowing here in Edina/Bloomington/Richfield border area all morning. I have a feeling I'll be riding pavement tonight but I'll check here around 4:30 to see.

[ibismojo2001]

It stopped snowing in Eagan off cliff. I went home at lunch (live by Penn) to pick up the bike, etc so the trail better be rideable, or else!!:D

Looking forward to riding with you all.

[Ish]

I can do it. I collided with a deer in the Black Hills in May. It was nothing.

I am pretty sure we were referring to being eaten by a Bear, but if you are up for it :etard:
Otherwise, we have a few others in the group we can offer up.


The conditions might be touch and go tonight. Hopefully, it will just be a little damp/sliperly in the leaves but not enough to damange the trail. I need to hone by power slide skills in the corners for the winter anyway!

[KenCycle]

The chain is lubed, battery is charged, and I'm ready to ride. Sounds like FUN! :D

[gopherhockey]

Here is the deal with the trail. I walked in on the Galaxie side and went backwards down the Joey Trail and it was rock solid. Damp, but no mud anywhere I could see.

That brings me to the next point - most of the trail is submerged in wet leaves.

The leaves apparently took the hit for the trail...

So... I'd say it is ok to ride. I just may be quite slippery and I doubt we'll be doing the full-on beer run. No doubt rocks and logs are quite slippery as well.

I'm still game if everyone else is.

[crux]

Walked a bit of the trail a few min ago and its damp and don't know if I'd ride it today, but I'm out for the evenig since tonight I'm watching the kid.

I seriously doubt there would be any trail damage - then again I only saw 1% of the trail. Its more of an "if I really like to ride in wet leaves" kind of decision I think.

[ibismojo2001]

[gopherhockey]

I'm a go unless I hear otherwise from the group.

I'm there!

See you guys at 6:45!

[bigwheel]

We Ride!!!

I shall ride too!

[ibismojo2001]

And I!! on my sturdy steed with sword in hand. Doesn't take much to twist my arm.

After riding the single speed for the last week and a half, I was thinking how nice it was to be back on the full suspension cushie. At least we were able to sort-of make it rideable for the rest of the night. However, with the back pinned in the down position, my chainring was hitting every rock and log, so I had to miss the rev-XX portion.

Marie, that looks like an owie. I hope it was fun enough to convince you to get or make a set of lights and join us next week.

I'm assuming it was an air sprung shock? Bummer.

That's why I'm a fan of coil sprung shocks and forks. Who cares about the extra weight, if/when the seals blow, its still ride-able. (really springy, but still ride-able) Ditch the air!

[manual63]

It is nice, isn't it? Here's another view!!!


And I thought that was from last night. I had that same surgury twice on my left knee. Not fun at all. The first time in 92 it took 6 - 9 months to heal from and get back on my bike 100%. The one in 99 took about 1 month to heal and get me back on my bike. I would say I was 100% after about 2 months. The advances are amazing. Not even sure how long it takes now....but both of my experiences were vastly different.

Yes, air. It's a Fox Float-R.

From everything I could tell, it seems like some of the pressure leaked from the positive side to the negative. We added pressure to it (probably way too much), which made it rock-hard, but still in the near bottom-out position.

I should have known that I was on borrowed time. About a month ago, I had dampening problems, which we "temporarily" solved by turning the dampening adjuster to almost full-slow position.

This shock is only about 3 months old. My other Float-R is about 3 years old (from my Gary Fisher), and has run flawlessly. Fortunately, they are the same length and stroke, so I plan to swap them tonight (assuming I don't run into any surprises). If that doesn't work, I'll be on the single speed for the summit.

I've thought about switching to coil spring, but decided that the cost was more than I could stomach. I'm currently planning to send it to Push for an extreme makeover.

Did you have one done with an autograph (your own tissue) and one with an allograph (harvested tissue from the dead and gone)?

Healing time with the allograph is much quicker, which is what I used. I started PT the day after surgery and biked in the Black Hills in May so I guess recovery time is really based on how hard you work in PT.
