If you intend to join us Saturday PM your cell digits, I will make a list of names that start the ride. If for any reason someone gets dropped due to mech or other reasons I will be able to contact said rider. I will have my truck for extraction if needed. This is intended to be a no drop ride, but things do happen, this is insurance in case your on the fence :)
Sissy mountain bikers.  Roadies no need SAG wagon.   ;D

Facebook quote from Dan-o/Big Hooper:


"Today's ride was a complete fail! Got dropped, blew up and bailed early. Blew a tire had no tube and walked at least 5 miles before getting picked up. San Antonio was no joke today, especially on my fat tire bike."

It was fun for sure. I can see the benefit from riding there since you simply do not get those sortd of climbs on the dirt trails. Going to hit it a few more times before FG...hope to hang with the group a bit longer next time.

Didn't Cohutta teach you anything?  FG tip #1 carry extra tube.  Tip 2#carry extra tube for the extra tube.  Tip #3, send extra tube for the extra tube for the xtra tube to sag #4 bag.   ;D   Glad you make it to the car...

Its all a learning experience SP. I was still smiling when Scott pulled up after i walked for over an hour. NEver Ever leave without a tube.. even riding on road with beefy tires. Never walk past a convenience store in summer when you break down. Never finish a race and a century road ride then sit on your ass for a month and expect to be able to ride well.
wherever you go.....there you are.
Just a big Hooper!
