Anyone Mountain bike in the DC/MD/NOVA area? My regular mountainbiking buddy is out for another month with knee problems. I usually ride at Shaffer in Germantown or Patapsico in Baltimore (used to ride up in Frederick at Gambrill). I like to night ride as well. I am pretty out of shape, so I need to dust off my bike and start riding again. I'll probably ride Shaffer this weekend, give me a shoutout if you want to meet up.

P.S. I used to be pretty hard core but now I'm fat, old and out of shape so my ride will be a moderate pace ~1.5 to 2 hour ride.

 

Hmmm, it depends on what "moderate" is to you...I'm somewhat out of shape (for me) right now, so it's all relative. I might be up for it on occasion for a change of pace to riding my road bike...probably wouldn't want to ride for less than 2.5 or 3 hours though.

Well, I use to ride 3-4 times a week and I have been riding offroad for 15 years. I use to ride at night, in the snow at the rock gardens of Gambrill state park. Now I ride 1-2 a month if I am lucky and it has been 2+ months since I have gone for a ride. My bike would probably be rusting, if Ti rusted . Sad to say, I doubt I am up for a 2-3 hour mountain bike ride. Still, your welcome to meet me at Shaffer, if I get tired I'll just bail and you can continue riding (it all a bunch of loops anyway so you can't get lost).
