The word is out...CR7 reserve at ASA

[Medeco]

There is/was a club in ATL, Aaron's Cycling, that works out of Outback Bikes in Little 5 Points that has had some ASA people riding. I joined up a few years ago but didn't renew because every ride (including the recovery ones) seemed to turn into a race and it wasn't worth it for me to fight Connector traffic just for the honor of being the Lanterne Rouge of the group. And just for the record, I am one of those carbon bike/no skillz riders you refer to.

I must say this is turning into quite a nice thread hijack!

I'm talking smack more than anything.

I can ride with just about anyone who enjoys cycling in all forms.

I had heard about the LFP club rides not being to fun, I road ride mostly in Peachtree city/Fayette, but also in Senoia we have some great routes with very little traffic

Hijack continues.

How's the mountain biker contingent at ASA?

I'm not a roadie, but love riding in the dirt! I'm just getting back on the bike after a 3 year hiatus and have set completing 5 races as a goal for next year.

I live up in Gainesville...pretty close to Unicoi. Give me a shout if you want to go ride sometime!

ASA MTBer here.. its been 6 months tho.. i am sure im out of shape..

 

[Goose Egg]

SkyWest MTBer, roader (not "ie"), and downhiller newbie here (I just bought my first set of body armor). Have been known to dabble in BMX, singlespeed, CX, and triathlons (hence the term, "aquatically challenged") as well. Good times. Maybe it should be a SkyWest, Inc. Cycling club. Heaven knows there's plenty of guys that ride over here. We had this common thread all along and didn't even know it!!

You western based SKYW guys want to host some of your ASA peers for a Grand Junction/Telluride/Durango/Fruita bike trip this fall?

That'd be FUN!

hE!! yEAH

I like this idea.

Fruita rocks!! Moab is cool, but Fruita is more my pref.

I did Whistler last July.

I'm a MTB/BMXer first but lately I've only ridden the road bikes to cut down on the gas since it takes 45 min any direction to ride true singletrack.

Maybe we should start a dedicated thread for this?

I can't stand riding on the road. It bores me. I might as well be on a stationary bike at the gym.

Guess it's just an attitude thing, I was brought up on off-road bikes and nothing compares to singletrack, jumps, berms and the like.

Tell you what! Any of you Skywest rocky mountain region guys want to get together for an 'exchange'...you host us ASA east coasters for a 3-5 day mtn. bike
adventure and we'll reciprocate.

There's some GOOD Smoky Mountain singletrack with an hour or 2 of ATL! Our mountains have the advantage of being down in the atmosphere where there's air to breathe

Medeco: you in the ATL area? I'm an hr. north of town but would love to host N. Georgia singletrack sometime. Let me know if you ever want to get together.

Can you say chicopee, Bull mtn, Tsali, pinhoti

Those trails rank up there with anything on the west coast.

I ride dauset 9 out of 10 times for convienance and solitude. 17 miles of pure bliss.

I live about 1/2 way between Chicopee and Unicoi.

Chicopee is great, but a little 'groomed'.

I haven't done a lot of the great rides nearby. Tsali, Dauset, Racoon Mtn.

I am going to Chilhowee (TN) 4th of July and plan to ride Tanasi and Brush Mtn.

Let me know when we can get together and conquer some of this stuff!

 

[shamrock]

I'm available for comic relief on MTB rides, I crash better than anybody I know!
