Hey there. If you are in the area this saturday met at Blackwater Bikes 10:30 in downtown Davis, WV Saturday for a ride. Will probably go out to Moonrocks, HooDoo Rocks, CVI, and some other areas for 15+ good recreational miles. I have to work Sunday but might ake it back on Monday for a holiday ride. Weather is looking good for weekend so join in.

My calendar says Sept. 30 is a Tuesday. Did you mean August 30 (this coming Saturday) perhaps? I may be getting old, but at least I know what month it is. :rolleyes:
We'll my calendar says September 30th is a Tuesday as well but this thread deals with August 30th, this coming Saturday. Guess your eyes are playing tricks on you. Think you can get your man card back for some riding on Saturday?

I second that. Any stressed out, BMW-driving, road-raging urban types should head to TUCKER COUNTY for their getaway. Snowshoe is sooo overrated and there really isn't anything to see in Pocahontas County. Again, TUCKER COUNTY is where you need to be!

I thought the same thing! Last thing we need here is a bunch of city people infecting WV or VA. First they see how beautiful it is, how great the trails are. The next thing you know a bunch of a-holes start to move down this way from New Jersey or Pittsburgh, and then it all goes to hell. People start "a-nun-ciating" words correctly, they don't drive pick-ups, and they infect your daughters with the devils seed.

Stay in the North you bunch of yankees!!:thumbsup:

Yep, oldnoob is just yankin' your chain. Good seeing you yesterday, hopefully you'll get to ride with this group one of these days. I'll get with Matt, I might be able to make it up there and lend some assistance for the race. Especially if it gets me on the bike. :thumbsup:
