What time tomorrow. I'll bring my Mukluk in time trail mode! (10psi instead of 8)

That's pretty funny--if you type 8 followed by a right-hand parentheses you get a sunglass smiley!

Cool, see you guys there! I'm gonna try to get there a little early so anyone that wants to take the fattie for a spin gets the chance...

I bet that thing could shred some log rides and stunts. Like cheating, really...

Makes up for it when you try to spin them 1200 gram tires up to speed, tho...

...besides, I'm an old (ok, middle-aged) man in a young man's sport! I deserve a little help. :wink:

Hey, maybe that's why we slow down when we get older? Not in a rush to get there...

No word on the number of entries in the 80+ category [edit:it appears there were 2], but one is impressive enough: John Walker Sr wins Chequamegon 2011 Age Group 80+.

ps. planning to join the group ride tonight.

The weather is not looking good today for riding. If it lets up when I get out of work at 5:30, I'm gonna take a rake to my arch nemesis- the field sections.

Brought the rake and loppers as well. I might hit the relevant portions of Randy's/Annie's and go from there.

Some trail work sounds like a good idea. I rode the HCP 'fun' 50 this weekend, and several parts of my body do not want to connect with a bike for a few days.

Sounds good guys, thanks for the work. I talked to Jeff today and will be picking up the blower from him later in the week. Plan is to blow of as much of the TT course as possible. If somebody else wants to blow that rest of the trail off after I am finished let Jeff or myself know so we can get the blower to you.
