i’ll wear orange.
there are only two real singletrack sections and if we stick together we shouldn’t get shot.

if the link hurts your lappy, maybe try to go to routeslip.com and look for MD, Frederick, then Chanukkah.

it should be fun and gears will be helpful.
i’ll be rocking them.

i’m not sure how much singletrack we will be hitting. besides, my bike has a bell that rings constantly on off road sections.

Also FYI, when thinking about the fire road and single track sections of the route, it will be muzzleloading hunting season up in the ‘shed.

This ride most certainly looks Trump Tight.

However, if my memory still works, “salmon coloured fishing shanty” is a recycled joke.

Also, sadly can’t make this event.

Man, I’d love to do this but I am booked on another ride that day.

FYI – I opened it in Firefox. One message about scripts hanging but I hit continue and everything loaded fine.

IE: Just hangs.

Firefox:
A script on this page is causing mozilla to run slowly, if it continues, your computer may become unresponsive.

Message seems to pop up for each leg of the overlay track. Ouch. 20 minutes of patient clicking ‘cancel’ got it all going.

Looks like a fun route. If I make it, I’ll bring gears!

I’ll mention this on the bike site. SSO might be interested, its his kind of ride.

Starmer: do you need to borrow a good front light? I have an led handlebar lamp that aint bad. Its not great, either. but it works well enough.

John, the link makes those browsers crash?

Also: anyone else you know who might be into this kind of ride, feel free to invite them. We just need a rough number so we can plan the pancakes and jelly donut quantities. This wont be a killer paced ride at all. I am monumentally slow and Starmer is even slower than me.

Your link kills both firefox and IE for me.

I’ll see if I can get permission. Saturdays are usually kids aikido and basketball, but maybe the missus would let me out. I’m pretty sure I’ll be bailing before 60 miles though.
