October 5, 201312 yr Yeah I am going to ride somewhere for sure. Did a nice loop today but it was pretty bad with traffic so not great for a small group.
October 5, 201312 yr What time? I am off the hook all morning but would like to be home by 11:30 so finish up the loop around 1015 or 1030. I was thinking a long ride on the trail anyway so that works out.
October 5, 201312 yr Did the Beach Dr loop. Actually contrary to my expectation, it is completely closed to traffic once you hit DC. -All picnic and *parking* areas are closed. Bikes and pedestrians are OK, or at least all the police around (a lot of them actually) didn't say anything to anyone biking around... -Ross and all the other surrounding roads are also closed to traffic, which makes a surreal ride, tons of leaves on the road.

I was thinking a long ride on the trail anyway so that works out. You are doing a Metric aren't you? I can ride over to the trail and meet you at the normal place and ride out with you and back. I'm up for a ride tomorrow, when should I show up? If you want you can either park at the trail or come here and we can ride over. Kind of busy roads but not awful.
October 5, 201312 yr Jeff what time do you want to meet? I will just do what miles I can before hand as I am not feeling great right now and may be getting a slight cold.
October 5, 201312 yr I am open to any time. Ben has a longer trip to get here so it probably won't be real early.
October 5, 201312 yr 9 am work to meet at the usual spot? We can then roll out for a bit and turn around to get me back on time or we can do a climbing loop if we prefer.
October 5, 201312 yr 9 works for me. Hopefully Ben pops in and confirms he can make it down here by then. We would need to leave my house by 8:45 to get to the meeting spot.
October 5, 201312 yr Yeah, I'll aim to get there by 8:30. Should give enough time to get ready and go.
October 6, 201312 yr ok, obviously the bike makes all the difference, I'm convinced now: http://www.rtbf.be/video/embed?id=1858008&autoplay=1

October 6, 201312 yr Had a great casual ride with Team HC DC this morning. Awesome as usual, except for all the other people. There was a massive douchebag on rollerblades with ski poles trying to stab everyone on the trail and freakin horses dropping loads on the trail. My gloves came in handy.
October 6, 201312 yr I have an old Trek 8000 race/tn bike that i use mostly at home on a trainer. The problem is that it is too small for me. I was thinking that I could get a longer seatpost (and one that is setback) - like 400mm - until I get another bike*. Can you point me at some decent budget seatposts? I looked about Thompson Elite but I don't need or want to spend that much on something that won't be used for very long. *I can't ride a bike still because of my shoulder so buying a new bike right now really isn't an option.

October 6, 201312 yr how about a longer stem? is the problem distance to pedals or to the bars? Distance to the pedals is too short. Right now, I'm not even holding onto the handlebars much because of my shoulder. Also I have long legs and a short torso for my height. Edited October 6, 201312 yr by shellylh
