I have a cordless drill, a weedeater and a bow saw. Will any of these things help?
(this is like a LucasArts adventure game)

Megadeth rocks and that pub is awesome.
I'm Nathan, obviously, and I live in Evansville. I'm 29, originally from Pittsburgh, PA (I love that town). Moved to Santa Claus in 1984 and grew up there. I moved to Evansville in 1999 to go to school.
I work in the Network Support department for the QCOMM Corporation (KDL Inc, Norlight Telecom, Cinergy Metronet and nGenX). We take care of the internal network, computers, printers/scanners/faxes, and pretty much anything electronic that you would find on a desk in an office.
If you drive down Lynch Road it's the building between Green River Rd. and Burkhardt with all the satellite dishes.
I used to ride my bike everywhere as a kid, and myself and a few friends had some nicely maintained bike trails in the woods across from my house. Eventually I got out of biking altogether. I still had a mountain bike and rode down at Angel Mounds in late '99/early '00. After that I didn't really think about it until a friend introduced me to Urban Assault riding.
In 2002 I bought a Trek Bruiser and we started riding downtown almost every night, jumping off anything we could find. I kinda miss getting off work at 11, grabbing a beer then cruising around downtown from midnight till 4AM. The next year I got a new car that my bike wouldn't fit in, I couldn't find a rack that fit properly and I stopped riding again.
Last spring I traded the car in for the Xterra. A large part of my motivation to do that was so I could start riding again. I picked up my Pitch toward the end of May and it's been one of the best purchases I've ever made. About a month later I sold my old Bruiser and picked up an 09 Giant STP to ride downtown. Now I try to hit either the trails or downtown as much as possible.

The first thing I do when I get to the trailhead is scan the parking lot for familiar vehicles to see if anyone I know is out riding. If I know what you guys are usually driving I'll know to keep an eye out. I'll start us off: I have a dark gray Xterra with a RockShox sticker on the back window. It's pretty easy to spot.

I was riding a blue/white FS Specialized and wearing a black shirt/helmet. My friend Alex was behind me on a yellow/silver FS Giant and wearing a white shirt/helmet.
You were just climbing over the guard rail when I got back to the car.

I think I passed you as I was coming back from riding and you were heading out. I recognized the bike. The thorns are still pretty bad out there, and there are these little chunks of tree all over the place. Makes riding tricky.
