I just stepped outside and the ground is still pretty saturated with water. I'm guessing the trails aren't in the best condition today, so I think I'll sit this one out.

Tomorrow the weather will be mostly sunny & warmer than today. Trails may still be too wet though.
If the event is cancel, I will be going to Chickamauga Military Park or trails by Covenant Collage. I'll love to meet any body that needs the exercise...

Stupid question... Is it 11am at the trail or at Greenlife? See you on the Mt. tomorrow!

I essentially have no experience mountain biking, but would consider myself to be in decent shape. Is this the right ride for me to start with, or should I wait for another one?

You bet! I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks Trey,
If I don't hear from anybody I'll meet you guys at the top. Which trail head are you thinking of? East over look?

Is this the same trail head we met at for Turkey day ride, the east brow? I have an extra bike if someone wants to borrow one. It's a real MT bike not a dept store brand. I have an Iron Horse.

I will be coming from Lookout Mt. Could we set up another car pool area for those coming South/ Southeast from Raccoon Mt.?
I have a Tundra pick up. Can carry 4 more bikes & riders

  “ Would have been great had my gears not started slipping 1/4 of the way into the ride!! People were friendly and the host actually circled back around to check on me back in the parking lot- great venue- crappy bike! I'd go again though! ”
- Justin Henderson
  
  “ The ride was awesome. Loved the trail, loved the pace at the front. Maybe next time I wont bend my wheel. With front and rear brakes we can go do some of the other trails Trey! ”
- Oswaldo Lopez-Armas
  
  “ Trey did an excellent job once again. He was very attempting to the whole group specially those of us lagging behind a bit with mech. problems or just out breath! And everybody else was also very nice. Thanks to every body. ”
