I will be working so all of you should stay away from my work so I don't have to work on your bikes. You and I need to talk so I can get your bike tuned to stage 2

Sounds like fun, but I probably couldn't keep up as I haven't ridden in ages.

monroe is too far of a commitment for me right now. maybe later in the summer. is there a good mix of terrain up that way? I haven't done much riding on my bike yet and still trying to gain some confidence on it again.
hoping to put together a get together at Colonade some evening after work. -joel |

If Sunday works better that would be fine for anyone interested. Conditioning is no biggie. Just out to have fun! |

I bought a mountain bike on Friday and probably road it 20 miles this weekend (thats a lot for me, I haven't ridden a bike further than a mile or two since I was 14). Its a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be...but I'm too far up north to ride with you guys, plus I suck at riding.
Does anything know of a good mountain bike forum/review site? The bike I bought came carzy aggressive wide mud tires on it that don't get any traction in gravel, I need some good hybrid tires but know nothing about bicycles. |

Down to go but the bike needs a tune badly...
Anyone have any recommendations on where to go and get it tuned at? |

I'm up in B'ham. I got a 2006 Gary Fisher hardtail with a 4" travel front shock that can be locked out. I don't remember the model but it is an aluminum frame and pretty nice (I think it was around $600-800 new). Tire size is 26", I think my boss is going to give me the factory tires off his super nice full suspension specialized (he replaced them with street tires).
I have already bought a couple things for the bike... Its nice coming from modding a car to modding a bike, instead of spending $200-1000+ for parts I'm spending $15-40, lol. If I have time tonight I'm going to find some bar ends online. |

Actually I'm thinking to buy a decent mountain bike with the price range of $500-$650. I found one for $650 at Performance Bicycle with full suspension, disk brakes with hydraulic. Any recommendation on which bike and where to buy it? I live in Auburn.

Also, CRAIGSLIST, as usual is a great place to find slightly used, higher end equipment at a good savings. |

I'd be down for sunday riding, I have school all day saturday, We should hit up colonade though, its easier for everyone of different skill levels, plus we can all get a chance to chill out together.

I think that is the place. Good spot to ride with varied terrain for beginners to experts. Nice terrain park too. |
