After work rides around LRMC

I been doing a short ~30 minute ride around the good parts of LRMC, parking near Gate 3 after work this week. I been the only soul on the trail for the most part. I typically get there close to 1700. Do a lap that lasts around 30 minutes and then head home. Welcome anyone else that wants to join. It's dark and there is a hell-u-va lot of leaves out there and the rocks stay pretty slick, been having a blast :-D

I work at LRMC and ride every day to work. I am always up for a ride. When Mr. Sun stays around longer, I would love to plan some post work rides.

This usually starts back up around Daylight saving time...

Hey Fellas... Just rode the Gate 3 to 1, then over to Atzle on Tuesday after work.... Would love to meet by the gate next ride... if weather is nice...1700?

@bikedent: i don't ride to work a ton now, but work @ LRMC too. last spring/summer/fall I'd ride to work then ride out to kindsbach and back at least once a week. 1700 is too late for me--when are you done w/ work usually? I'm done earlier and by 1700 on riding days, I'm usually done and riding back home to feed the wife and kids.

You guys reviving my thread. :-D I haven't attempted to ride there since December. I been just commuting to work lately.

I wouldn't mind checking out the trails. In November they were massively covered by leaves. Miss the leaf blowing we did in the states in the fall.

they were pretty leaf-y last week when i rode to work.

need some sort of attachment for the back of my bike that would rake the leaves off the trail. or mount a leaf blower to the front!

I'm thinking jonesy could probably come up with something like that....

Bob trailer with a commercial push leaf blower mounted on it! Like a 7hp Billy Goat blower!

@gsmolin: The quickest I can get from work is 1630

My husband works at LRMC. I'm sure he would be interested. He would have to go around 1700 or so. Maybe 1630 on a Friday.

I'm getting my MTB back together this weekend so I should be able to ride some next week around LRMC. Hope the weather keeps up the way it is!

Awesome. I will be out tomorrow if your are interested.

Replacing the brake lines on my bike tomorrow which is going to require a lot of creative dremel work... Trying to put a 5mm Goodrich line into a 4mm fitting!   

It's time to start the group ride from the castle on Tuesdays again, for sure.  Tues after next we will be back on non-DST, so let's get on it!

That said, I'm wheezing like a geezer on the bike, so for now I'm going to be pushing an easy pace (easy is another word for slow).

I actually been riding there this past week but not from the castle. Doing just the LRMC/fun stuff.

There is a lot of leaves after you get past the ~400m mark where not that many people venture.

Where exactly is the meet site again? I probably cant make it every wed but gonna try as often as I can.

When I been riding lately I am just parking outside Gate 3 or LRMC and the gravel area. I'm not coming from the Burg, just doing the fun stuff around the hospital once, maybe twice.
