Mammoth Night Ride Friday 6pm

[Wolfchimp]

I am planning to do a night ride at Mammoth on Friday starting at 6pm. So far it is just my buddy Dave and me. We dont plan on putting down a grueling pace. If anyone is interested just let me know. Thanks.:D

[Magic]

[BKocka]

[BKocka]

maybe ill make noah come along. whoop!

[wildkona]

I might come, what better thing to do on a friday night than ride....

[Wolfchimp]

You'll have to settle for a night ride being your introduction to Mammoth then.

[TML]

I'll keep my eye on this. There's actually a chance I could make it.

[wildkona]

Yup its better than not riding it at all :crazy2:

[BKocka]

Yup its better than not riding it at all :crazy2:

i dont know josh... i havent ridden since my crash and i think its been pretty okay :crazy:

[wildkona]

w/e its soo boring here in Northfield that I've just been watching complete seasons of 24 and all my bike videos...they just create more desire...

[CadexCFM]

Ooootttttt OOootttttt I'm in. Spare light spoken for, but if you have a niterider helmet mount post up, I have the handle bar but need the helmet. Bri- i'm gonna give you the heaviest battery I can find to slow you down now that you'll be back to riding fearlessly over those tie piles.

[BKocka]

oh yes i am so back to 'riding fearlessly over those tie piles' :sick:

[Wolfchimp]

We'll be riding everything so be prepared.

[TML]

Just realized I won't be able to make it. :mad:

Have fun everyone.

[Wolfchimp]

Geez Troy, you had me all excited and there you go and let me down! Maybe another time.

[TML]

Geez Troy, you had me all excited and there you go and let me down! Maybe another time.

Yeah, and I would have brought you socks too!

[BKocka]

luckily i know how to cut out of the trail and get back to the lot, so I am SO not restricted and dont have to ride everything!

:p

[Wolfchimp]

You won't want to duck out. You'll be having too much fun!

[BKocka]

yea, untill i crash and die. again.

[Wolfchimp]

yea, untill i crash and die. again.

If you crash just don't die...or you could not crash by just taking it easy.:D

[BKocka]

taking it easy is the plan.

[Wolfchimp]

Yeah I ran some of the trails yesterday and they were rather greasy. LOD1 was nice and slimey too.

[mara]

I'm hoping/planning to make this one.

Maybe this will finally be the ride where everyone says it is going to be casual and it actually IS casual. Hey, it could happen.

[bigwheel]

Depending on how badly beaten up I am from the Thursday Leb ride, I might be there.

[mara]

Come on out, Bob. Break free of the Triad for an evening and embrace your inner "fun group" rider.

IF I go, it'll be "fun group" all the way for me. Depending on how funny I feel, I might even bring the single.

[dave t]

Anyone have an estimated time for a "fun" night ride out there?
I don't know that place well enough to ride in someone else's beam if my batteries run out of juice.

[ryno lite]

I may even be up for a "fun" ride.

[Wolfchimp]

I would allow for about 2.5hours with a larger group.

[Gus]

fri @ 600 ill try to be there ...I will have to use the extra bike that has my new shifters on it though mostly everything else sold or is being taken apart....but the shifters work imagine that..... huh :D

[Magic]

I'll be here for sure, just checked with the wife and I'm good to go. I'll bring you that extra light Brianna. I'll be early since I'm leaving right from work. Sounds like we will have a good bunch.;)

[gopherhockey]

I'll be there as well...

[Wolfchimp]

6pm at the pavillion behind Jonathan Elementary. It looks like we will have a decent group. See you all there.

[BKocka]

whoop. this will be scarry, ive only ridden mammoth what, 3 times?

see you guys tonight! :)

[ryno lite]

I probably won't be there. Too hard to make it out there after work. Have fun!

[Magic]

I can't wait, see ya all tonight.

[phaberman1]

I'll be checking for the injury report!:shocked:

PS...rocks,roots and small stumps tend to find your (my) pedals out there in the dark...keep 'em up.

PSS...Oh no, I think I might sound like Shad in this post.;)

[gopherhockey]

I probably won't be there. Too hard to make it out there after work. Have fun!

I might be in the same boat. 6pm is a bit too early to make for me... we'll see.

Do your best to get out here. It's going to be a good ride and I promise...it will be a fun ride, not too fast at all.:D

[ryno lite]

I struggle to get to Leb for 6 pm trailwork and 6:30 rides and that is only an 11 mile drive with light traffic. No way I can make the westbound Chaska traffic on time. Oh well, sounds like fun, I'm sorry I'm missing it!

[BKocka]

oh the traffic on 169 south to chaska isnt bad if you are coming from the eagan area.

however it depends on what time you guys get off work..... but if you get off at 5 you would have no problem making it to chaska if you take the right roads (and boy to i know the right ones to take).

Then, how would you get to Mammoth from Eagan on a friday night at rush hour?

[tedsti]

The best way from Eagan would probably be 13 to 169 to 41 North. 494 and 5 will probably be a parking lot.

Fast. That's how I'm going to get there.

[CadexCFM]

Only an hour from Faribault, so mapquest says... He's lead me astray before through back routes that were shorter in mileage, but longer in time.

6PM bikes set to take some loops with the lights charged.

This will be the virgin voyage for me. I hope the darkness doesn't swallow me!

[krazykatie]

I might be in the same boat. 6pm is a bit too early to make for me... we'll see.

Well then you will have no excuses for the morning ride.... :p

[bigwheel]

Yes he does. JL and I are car pooling and plan to be there tonight.

I'm a little banged up from a fall last night, so I'll be riding on the timid side.

Troy S, please leave your phone turned on. If we get lost, I'll give you a call. The number I have for you ends in 45.

[Wolfchimp]

Bob- I just sent you my phone# also.

No problem Bob, I'll be leaving work at 4:00pm tonight and I'll have my phone on.

[gopherhockey]

Great ride tonight! Awesome trail, whomever is responsible. Wish I lived closer.

I hear the night ride was way more fun than the Sat. morning ride will be... :D ;)

Thanks Briana for the hot cider!

[krazykatie]

oh go lick something Lundell....:p
(borderline inappropriate?)

[Wolfchimp]

Good ride everyone. I am glad you all could make it out there. I have always thought that Mammoth is more fun at night because it brings about new challenges. Once again, thanks for coming and thanks for the cider Brianna.

[krazykatie]

I bet you didn't get to lick these during the night ride. Sorry you missed out! Lots of licking going on today! :laugh:

[BKocka]
