New Forums, Chat, and More!

Hey Folks!

You asked for it, you got it! New forums with better functionality and a chat box! You should check out the webaite and the forums today! The club is about 75% up and running right now with a few minor pieces falling into place. Once all the nay-sayers see we are serious and are not going away, they will signup.

Hang in there and enjoy the new stuff!

Family Ride was Great!

We had about 10 people today for our 1st un-official ride at Morris Bridge park. I heard from a couple more that were thinking it was at another park, but we will make sure that does not happen again. The weather was perfect and all had a great time. Check out more of the pic's on the website!

Getting Ready for Our 1st Family Ride!

Well it is not our official kick off yet, but we will be having a family ride on Saturday Morning at 9am at Morris Bridge Park in Tampa. Bring your kids, bikes, water, and helmet for an easy Get to know you ride. We will be going over what our club is all about, fill you in on where we are right now, and let you know where we are going. Come on out!

Possible New Single Track in the Area? Maybe...

Jim and I are looking at trying to find some single track of our own somewhere in the area. We have a couple of places in mind and are in the preliminary stages of seeing if it is viable. Stay tuned and we will report any information when the time is right.

The Cold!!!!

Finally, I'm getting over this terrible cold. I did take the weekend off from riding.....I'll just have to find some time this week to make up for it. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone on Sat. It's gonna be an exciting ride. Plus its a great opportunity to meet everyone, and share some of the things we have going on behind the scenes with everyone.

Also, I have to give thanks to Darrin on getting us hooked up with 10% discounts at the local shops.

Nice Ride Today!

I had a nice peaceful ride today at hole in the fence and it was great. I did not run into anyone until I was leaving. It was just me and the animals for awhile and it felt good. after being so sick last week it was good to get back out and do 12 miles at my own pace. The trails were in good shape for a race just being held last week. The weather was perfect as well. I hope everyone gets to get out there and ride soon!

Missed out on Sqiggy

Woke up this AM kinda bummed that I missed Squiggy, so I went for a ride out at Boyette. Had a great ride. I did meet some nice folks today, and hopefully they will become new members. I also ran into the proud owner of my old Trance, and she told me she was very happy with it. I was glad to here that and I'm looking forward to riding with them in the future. Coty didn't make it, as spending the day out in the woods with dad was not to appealing. He will be surprised at our first ride how many kids he will be riding with. Anyway, I'm looking forward to possibly having our first beginners ride next Sat. Everyone who is interested, please email me, and let me know what kind of rider you are. Ohhh Boyette trail report......Sandy! Everyone pray for rain.

We are all sick! Thanks Darrin...

After being exposed to Darrin's Ebola, SARS, or whatever he has at the Yard sale. Coty and myself have been sick too. So we feel your pain. I'm still waiting for some pics from the last ride and the yard sale mostly to give me the opportunity to remove my fat pics. Anyway, it's Tues, and it's not looking good for me either for Thurs. I still have been unable to locate my team for Sat, so it looks like I'll have to go it alone. Heck it's only 6 hrs right?

Take care all!

Jim

BTW please send all pics and sugestions or whatever to: Admin@baadrmtbclub.org

I'm Sick! I hate feeling like this!

I went to the doctor yesterday and was told I have an upper respiratory infection, which i kinda knew since I could not breath very well that last 3 days. Sunday and Monday were spent in bed mostly with fever and aches and being dizzy. The antibiotics should start kicking in later today but it looks like I will skip my Thursday after work ride. Maybe Chris from TFK will pick up my slack!

The Squiggy race is this weekend so I am sure the trails will be busy all week due to people training and trying to get the course down.

Next week I will be back up and riding for sure!

TFK Yard Sale!

Today was the TFK yard sale! After leaving early I hope we hit our goal. Coty and Spencer had a great time selling and advertising. Thanks to everyone for their support! I must be getting old, as I had to fore go an evening ride for a nap. Oh well.....anyone up for a ride at Alafia in the AM?

Thursday after work ride!

All proceeds help a great Charity! Email Chris Kiddy at tfktampa@yahoo.com for more info!

It's only Tuesday?

Man it's already a tough week. I missed a 2:30 ride due to being overrun by clients and other employees out. Thanks to Darrin and Chris for carrying the load. Some how I have to find time to get back to a riding routine....the time change should help. I'm still looking for my Sqiggy partners, and haven't been able to track them down. Oh well 3 days left, and the weekend. I hope between the TFK yard sale and the huge birthday celebration for my son this weekend, as his birthday was today, I can get in some miles. Plus I have to take Coty out to my other son. Anyone who went on today's ride email me on how it went.
