Oh man...on that one fatefull day, Friday December 11th, at the Canari sale I bought my first pair of bibs...I have yet to try them out. As much fun as I have bashing on lycra, I have to admit I'm looking forward to wearing those bibs. :lol:

nothing is as comfy as bibs. when i ride around town in my baggies, i think, 'man, these things suck.' but they sorta hide the fact that i don't have the gigantic p-star package i wish i had, while bibs make it too obvious. oh well. not like i have sex with anyone except myself, so who cares? up with lycra!

This doesnt just apply to our group rides.
Lets be considerate on the board as much as we are on the trail.

I'll start...

At Dirt Treaders we really aren't too concerned about how slow a rider is. What we are concerned with is everyones safety and comfort zone.
There hasn't been a single ride with Dirt Treaders that I have either hosted or joined in on that any rider felt slighted due to their level of fitness. I hope to keep that on the forefront of our philosophy.
We have all levels of riders, some are much faster than others, some have sick tech skills, some are average, some are beginners. All are welcome. All I ask, is that if there is a ride posted and it is noted as being an exposed, or dangerous or overly taxing ie: fast pace and high mileage that one would take that into consideration before accepting the invitation. Sometimes when we put ourselves at risk we also put our friends at risk. Basically, just be honest with yourself and your skillset, experience and comfort level, and ride within your means.

Please contribute to our philosophy

To enjoy some good laughs with friends, and get together to ride though I've been neglecting the possum.

Keep the drama to a minimum though I do enjoy poking the spider tractor with a stick from time to time.

We have plenty of new registered Dirt Treaders and I feel we should all keep this fresh to the Dirttreader philosophy...

...so please...

First ride I did with DT, felt welcone right away. Jose, Abe and others was very helpful and encouraging. :thumbsup:

Others even saw me fall barely missing the water in one of the bridges. :lol:

Slow riders are the bomb we need to do are best to be friendly to the fast guys.
Anyone up for slow and steady rides let me know if I don't know the trail I can fake
it if you give me a day.
Let's ride Tom

This is whats going to make me miss this place the most. Everybody is so accepting to newcomers that its easy to feel like part of the family right away. I regret not being to meet more DTers and do many more group rides. I look forward to getting a few last rides in before I leave.

The way I look at Group Rides, is if I post i don't care how many people show up, doesn't matter how fast you are, just be able to finish the ride & have fun, more important is the latter.

I hate how some people will post a ride & if it gets too big they cancel it.You may have 1 or 2 show up or you may have 15-20 you never know, as alot of lurkers will show up.

If you post a group ride on an open forum, be prepared on what level rider may show up. It may be a guy who is joe racer thinking the group ride is too slow, or a newbie looking for more trails to put in their database of places to go.

If your worried about speed & time constraints don't post a group ride, you don't care & want to get out & have other peeps join you post away.

Well said.
