Ride: Lebanon Hills, Thurs 9/27 7pm - NIGHT RIDE

[Tex]

I did all my chores this weekend, so the wife has given me the go-ahead for a Thursday night ride this week. :banana:

It's been so long since the last time I was able to go, what are the details these days? Do we meet at Leb or at Murphy? What time? All I do know is that my lights are charging and I'm bringing a chair for after the ride this time.

[Nita]

I believe there is usually a lap starting without lights at 6:00 and the night ride starts at 7:00.

Al and I will be there.

Wow an Eric siting! Good to hear you get a hall pass Eric, looking forward to riding with you and a fellow Homer again! Craig doesn't show up anymore :cryin: ......although we have gained another one or two Homers this summer. :D

[Tex]

Craig doesn't show up anymore :cryin: ...

I have some inside info that says he may be joining us this week. I also have reason to believe that there may be a 29" homer making an appearance Thursday night as well. So we'll see.

[ibismojo2001]

The "homer" group sounds like a good group.......how do I get in on that??:crazy:

I've ridden the 7pm lap without lights but should be there with lights charged, sore back and all.

[gopherhockey]

Hey, stealing my leb group ride are we?

Should I change this into the regular 7pm night ride thread or do you want me to post my own?

[Tex]

Should I change this into the regular 7pm night ride thread...

Yeah that would be fine. I just didn't see a post started yet and was hoping to get the details.

[gopherhockey]

Posting up for our usual Leb thursday rides. Its getting dark by the time we get into our first lap now, so the DAY/NIGHT thing is OVER! :banana:

Bring your lights and enjoy a few laps... post up if you can make it.

(I'm going to merge the other thread into this one)

[charliebrown]

I will be there at 530 this week to try to get a day lap in as well, if anyone wants to join me please feel free. I am also planning on a night lap...

[Hellbender]

I'll be there for a day lap as well...night lap depends on the generous loan of a light. Nita??? You still got my back?

Good news though, I think this year I'll be able to make the light purchase. So light owners can give me their 2 cents Thursday on what lights to get (somewhat reasonably priced of course).

I am working on it. I am thinking I could be there by 7:30pm.:banana:

I could probably meet up at 5:30. I will see how work goes... I am hoping my new light comes in the mail this week!

Hey - give me a break! I have been taking a disapearing cues from Magic.:p

[iceskier]

Medium Here is the frame couch shot. Rides very nice. I put the Burner on EBay last night.

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it there by 5:30. I'll post up on Thursday afternoon if it looks like I can make it happen.

Very nice! I thought the standard couch shot needed to be red to be a true homer :confused:

Too bad I ride a large.:cryin:

Maybe we should rally the hommer jerseys on Thursday in honor of your new steed!

[dvo1]

For no better raisin then I can, I might be there, and hopefully my new parts will show up in the mail by then also. ;)

New parts? NOW what did you get?..

I'm in for a day lap, Hong Kong still hasn't got my LED's to me yet.

[rihaha]

Im in for a day lap.

[THUMP!]

Unfortunately I'll be in Texas until Sunday so I still won't get to test my new lights or the crew...have fun!

[timmy]

I have Thursday off of work so I will be there.

[dakotabuck]

Hi All,

I will be there for the ride Thursday night.

Giselle (from the OC) has Thursday night off and wants to ride with us. she doesn't have lights so if anyone is doing an early slow lap maybe she could tag along. not sure what time i'll be there, I'll post up tomorrow or thursday.

On a related note, I've got a new work schedule that's making it hard for me to get out of the office before 7. It sucks, but i'm working on it...

See everyone on thursday, and looking forward to BobFest!

Ryan, she can ride with us!

[gopherhockey]

I *think* we're still going to be ok for tonight. I'll hike out to the trail this afternoon and give a report. I'll try get that tree off the trail as well so we don't have to worry about it.

[dvo1]

New parts? NOW what did you get?.

Don't know till they show up. But I gots the;

[bigwheel]

Is there a "group ride"? And if so, when does it start?

[gopherhockey]

7pm if conditions are ok. Its more of a night ride now. ( my initial post was about 7 into the thread as it had started before I could post up.)

[Nita]

Al and I won't be there unless we can get our son's Senior picture done ASAP. It has to be submitted Friday for the yearbook. My kids lately are making me :mad: . Al has photo equipment but this should have been handled by a professional. I should just submit Bob's OC picture from the other night. That should teach him...

Anyway...Tiffany...Bob has your light.

I owe you another one Bob!

Great. I'll be there. Sorry for the confusion. I saw a bunch of times bantered around, and didn't know which one was real.


Tiff, I'll stop home at lunch, and throw something on the charger. I'll be there around 6:30~6:45, so that we can ride at 7.

[smklugherz]

I am in if anyone has a spare charged battery for a cygo night rover light, to lend. Apparently I lost my charger and my battery is dead.:incazzato:

Steve, several of us have batteries and chargers, but the chance of the connectors, wiring, voltages, etc being compatible to your light is pretty slim. For example, I have several homemade 7.2 volt NiMH packs with the connectors that you get for 9 cents at Ax-Man.

You might consider a quick lunch stop at Batteries Plus. They will take your old pack and replace the batteries at a reasonable cost. They probably also have compatible chargers.

[Rooster]

i'll try to show up

[Shawno]

I'm in for a day lap. I plan on making a light purchase this weekend.

[gopherhockey]

trail is drying up, should be ok by 5 or so... the ride is on!

Considering Levis is this weekend I may consider shortening up the 2nd lap.. or at least swallowing my pride and not busting lungs during the beer run.

Its a Levis warm-up ride...

[timmy]

I have Thursday off of work so I will be there.

Can't make the ride tonight. Didn't realize the one hour season premiere of the Office is on tonight. I'll just have to try out the new lights at Levis.

[Pandl]

Too bad the VCR, or the DVR or TiVo has to go out tonite, or that could record The Office. This is the first time I have seen tv as an excuse for missing a ride.

[gopherhockey]

This is the first time I have seen tv as an excuse for missing a ride.

Timmy uses it all the time.. I think he's just BSing us. Nobody could seriously miss a group ride for a TV show... only the series finale of MASH would be important enough and its been done already.

Timmy is going to be painting his toenails so he looks nice for Levis... he just didn't want to admit it. :p

I'll be there John!! I just wanted to see what kind of response I'd get from you.:D I will be recording it though.

well, ya gotta have nice toenails stickin out from you boot cut Levis.

[Deputy Halik]

I should be there around 5:30 for a day lap and then plan on sticking around (for once) for the night lap.

[Ish]

I don't think so :nono:

My excuse too Greg! That and I need to rest before Levis!

[dakotabuck]

I'll be there around the same time, plan to do one day lap, and then the 7:00 lap

I'm backing out again. I have some tires to drop off, and I really need to pack up for tomorrow. I have too be at Troy's at 7:30am, and I've been up for 26 hours now, and I'm starting to see things.

Be honest Greg, you are really watching The Office!

[ttwjmw]

Raining in Maple Grove right now. How's the weather down south?

Patches of rain here and there but nothing that is lasting.

Well, I will be home in time to watch it.

[Lezgo Cycling]

[timmy]

Raining in Maplewood.

[tkb608]

I haven't been a regular. But I hope to become one this fall. I'm charging my lights right now. Hope the rain doesn't dampen our ride.

[krazykatie]

Raining in Maplewood.

Sunny blue skys in North Oaks!:D

[DmacBmac]

Yep, I am out as well. My lights are charged too, but I don't want to drive all that way to get rained out. Hope everyone has fun...if it doesn't rain. :)

[Pandl]

I got stuck in the office too long. Have a great ride! My lights are charged, bikes in the tailgate (hopefully). Have a great weekend, all you Levi riders...

I'm going to write a book on you...Timmy's 101 favorite excuses NOT to ride his bike:p

It'll be a best seller.:etard:

[gopherhockey]

Its raining right now. Doesn't look like much, but not good on top of already damp trail.

[tkb608]

Rained about 15 minutes in northeast Minneapolis. Now sunny. Is the ride still on?

[gopherhockey]

I think we're still a go. Sun is out again, hopefully not much of it made it down to the trail.

[Ish]

Not a drop 4 miles north of Leb.

Game on!

[bigwheel]

Leaving work soon (by 6pm). Running late, but I'll hopefully be there by 6:45.

[gopherhockey]

Another classic group ride. So much for saving the legs for Levis.

That pace last night was pretty hot. I kept looking for the fun group, but there was none.

My legs are thanking me for wussing out on the second lap.

[charliebrown]

April and I were the fun group... We ride in stealth mode so we do not advertise the fun that we exude...

:crazybanana:

[Ish]

I seem to remember you setting the pace :shocked:

Great ride everybody!

[Gingerdawg]

Last night was my first ever night laps at Leb. I had a blast!! I'll have to do that again real soon!

[dakotabuck]

Good Riding with you Jim, Thanks for coming out

Woot! I second and third that banana. :crazybanana::crazybanana:

Oh, and we found the trail treasure!

(kidding)

[Rooster]

$240 for the new derailer, bracket, all new drive side spokes, and chain, this is getting as expensive as motocross was

[Rooster]

Just got a call from Erik's, more bad news, rear wheel is untruable, another $170

[Rooster]

night ridings expensive

Ouch! I have to say though, after hearing the sound your bike made, I'm just glad it was only your bike and not you going down in the rock garden. Hope your bike is back up and working again soon.

[Rooster]

yeah thanks,good point bikes can be fixed quicker then i can heal

[Rooster]

of course i do have med. insurance so it may have been cheaper =)

[CookieMonster]

Woot! I second and third that banana. :crazybanana::crazybanana:

Man I'm super bummed I didn't make it out for the ride!! I was zonked by the time I left from student teaching on Thur that by the time I got home and sat down for a few minutes I was out like a light :(

I'll have to try and make it this week and ride with ya April in the cool group :)

[bigwheel]

Bummer, Brian. I was going over the rock when I heard the sound. At the time, I didn't know what it was, but it sounded painful and expensive.

[Rooster]

hoping to have it up and going before the next ride, we'll see
