Anybody up for a Shaffer ride today? It looks nice out there.
I'll be there tonight around 5'ish...

Got all my junk here in Leesburg so all I need to do is get out of the office on time.

We can do a white loop and then hook up back at the parking lot for the MORE ride? Or if we get there late enough just hook up with MORE? I the their ride starts at 6.




I was up to to 12:30 last night pulling apart 3 different USE shokposts in order to get two good working ones. Grease, shims, bushings where everywhere.

I'm game to try the MORE ride. Should work perfect for Bill, too... He ought to get there just as we are starting.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Matt's trek has one of those. he doesn't have much of a suspension, but the seat shock is very comfortable.

if you are sitting down. But how much time do you really spend in the saddle?

well, his bike is a hybrid, its mostly road and smooth trail riding.
Then it probably makes sense.

I don't think I would put one on my bike for the kind of riding we do. I just don't spend much time actually seated. Plus, my bike is heavy enough so I don't want to make it worse.
