Wish I could join you guys, but I have a Tuesday obligation. I do try to ride on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday when the weather permits. I am an urban rider, so I tend to either cruise around downtown or ride out to Darmstadt and hit the country roads.
Send me a note anytime you want to hit the streets!

I was out and about in the neighborhood tonight and thought I would check out the monster trees that were (disposed of) at lodge school. I use to admire them for the sheer size. They were big massive oak trees. Too bad they just rip 'em out like it's nothing.   |

13 hours on bike in searing heat sucks. But I survived... It went well, not a single incident... Spendt most of the time drinking fluids and hiding in the shade.
It's amazing how many people thought we were police. I should have used it to my advantage. o well.

Launch Ramps: I built 2 last year a one footer and a 2 footer, with a makeshift (but sturdy) plywood landing ramp. If anyone wants to pull a mini jump session let me know... I'll be geting them out b4 too long and catching a bit of air. FYI
204. oh five five one

I could use some practice on a smaller jump. What/when/where did you have in mind?

I've used it at my firehouse (Co 6 on Burkhardt) as there are 55 gal drum barrels that the landing ramp can rest on, supported by 2X8's..... that's the only place I've used it so far, but I can rig up a brace and use the setup anywhere..... I live near Harper Elementary/UE and they have an open lot with grassy areas for the landing....or we could go to angel mounds as my FD is on the corner, or any park for that matter.... Here's my general schedule for the next few weeks... 7/24 Fri off Sat work 6pm-6am sun off Monday 6p-6a Tue 6p-6a Wed off thurs off fri, sat, sun 6p-6a mon 8/3 off tue off wed 6p-6a thurs 6p-6a fri sat sun off And just FYI I do plan on making at least one table top at Harmonie- hell or high water. Even of it gets damaged I can still maintain it.  call anytime 2 oh 4 - oh five five one |

I work 8-5 Mon-Fri. Looks like we'd probably have to do something on a weekend or a day you don't work.

Jumping ramps with a certified EMT has to be a win win situation. If I ever try it again, I'm going to request that you have the entire ambulance crew with you. Cause.......  |
