Ride Friday, August 7. Shade Mtn.
Anyone want to ride on Friday? I have a desire to do Shade Mtn again. It's just me so far, and if no one else wants to go, I'll find something else to do with my time.

Shade Mountain is the hardest of the Central PA mountain singletrack. I mean that. If you don't want it to be mostly punishing rocks, then I'd go to Sand Mountain, or the Seven Mountains areas and areas near the Poe Valley State Park instead.

I have a score to settle with Shade Mtn. I went through one of the two "experienced riders only" sections before having to bail out and go home, but it didn't seem any worse than several of the Tasker's Gap trails.

Oops, I didn't notice this message. Looks good. How early could you get out there? Looks like about 2:15 drive time for me so I'd need to be done by about 2pm. I've got a new kenda equilibrium hybrid tire mounted and ready to go and some new footpegs that I need to get mounted this week.juddspaintballs wrote:http://www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trai ... e_ca33.htm

It looks like 2.5 hours from my house or from work, depending on where I'm coming from. More than likely I'm coming from home, but I would love to get hired for OT on Thursday (still hoping). If I'm coming from work, I can be there as early as 9:30 and from home as early as I need to be. I think a safe bet might be 10 AM to give us 4 hours of riding. That should be plenty of riding time.

Cool, 10 sounds good. Let's hope the dew point stays low (wow, in the low 60s yesterday and so far today). See you then.

Wife texted me a picture of my chain adjuster she found in the driveway today. I'm at work right now and have the bike with me. I hope to be able to assemble the rear axle and chain adjuster when I get home (hopefully) tomorrow. If I can't (possible stripped threads?), I won't be able to ride. I'll know more tomorrow and will keep you informed.
