Thursday Nights at Chimney Rock

[Wolfie2nd]

What gears are you SS guys running at CR? Might take a trip out that way this weekend to change things up a bit.

I run 32x20 when SSing at CR.
Also, just an fyi for those who have never done the Thursday night ride...make sure you read the 1st post in this thread.

I saw that. Id like to ride it solo before id ever shame myself on a group ride. Im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to hang. I average 8.5 mph at allaire if i stay out of tiger woods and around 5.5-6 mph if i add tiger woods into my loop. That's running 32x19 on 26" wheels.
I may wait for my 21 tooth cog to come in. So im able to bring that along with my 20 .
Thanks for the quick reply

You owe it to yoself to move up to a 29er.

You should come to our Intermediate Rides at Chimney Rock on Mondays. If we're too slow for you then you can upgrade to Thursdays!

Champions move up...that goes for @pooriggy too...otherwise you get stuck at the same speed.

 

[Pklimovich]

Any idea of the trails would be rideable by Thursday. I want to try to hang on at least for blue

I'm going to say yes but some locals will prolly chime in.

You may refer to me as "Champion" from now on.

I'm in for Thursday again. I think the trails will be a 'lil muddy in the usual spots but not as dry and loose like last week.
