Wednesday Ride

[Pantani]

So where are the roadies riding to on Wednesday?  Haven't been out on my bike in ages...

[MichH]

Get a MTB and join us at NF! Chuckle!

[Pantani]

Such vulgar machines those MTB's...  I'm clueless when I look at an MTB, don't know the first thing about MTB groupsets. In fact, when I read articles in magazines it's like they in a foreign language...

[Thug]

Maybe we need to have a section on the Hub entitled MTBing 101 

[Chilli Pepper]

And I'll do the "how not to" section?...

[slowpoke]

pantani, you gotta start somewhere. nothing beats being a well-balanced cyclist

[Pantani]

Yeah, the MTB'ing 101 is a good idea... 

[slowpoke]

pantani, if you ask MichH very nicely she has a spare mtb.. then you can try it out on wednesday....

[MichH]

S'true... And she is available for loan at this stage...

[Pantani]

Hold on one bleeding second! You lot have jacked my thread... I was looking for a road ride and now you have me wondering if it's OK togo out on an MTB? Clearly your powers of charm and deception are strong! But not strong enough! Where all the useless roadies? 

[Pantani]

Sheeesh, for a second it was like looking into an neverending spiral... I was almost sucked in... 

[1hill@aTime]

gotta be careful of these mtb'ers they can pull you in without warning, then you stuck...forever....

[1hill@aTime]

....and then you will start beleiving that the layer of brown stuff they call mud stuck an inch all over your body and bike is cool...run dude run

[slowpoke]

c'mon pantani, give it a shot... the roadies all seem to be missing and clearly don't care... the mtbers all care....

[Pantani]

I can't...... sniff... I can't.... They'll come for me.... I know they will.... sniff....

Getting dirty is fun. I don't like getting dirty on the road but in the dirt you feel like a kid again.
