Re: Buy Stuff = Support RideForum

I don't think anyone hates ads more than I do. Those images at the bottom could be construed as ads, but really, they are convenient links to community-appropriate stores, and using them helps the community. Is that a good spin?!

Re: Any Missouri people looking to ride?

Do you have any specific routes? I know some have said the Missouri side is mostly straight gravel roads, but I haven't done enough research yet. Here is the Pomme de Terre ride thread with some routes not TOO far from you--close enough to make a long day adventure out of. http://www.rideforum.net/...

Re: Labor Day Weekend Ride

I'm out. :( My brother and I used to ride together all the time. Somehow life got in the way over the last year, and it's been many months since we've ridden together. He is able to get away and ride over Labor Day weekend, BUT his only motorcycle is a trail machine--not a road bike. So we are going...
