Finally got a chance to ride Nox today with Stavros. I really don't know what was better the weather, the trails or the scenery.

Great job to all those involved - all the effort shows and the ride was great. Now I'm waiting for the ground to freeze and really rip up the place. }:)

Also - great job on the mapping - it was spot on and really helped.

I saw this ad on craigslist two days ago. Might still be available. It said about a ton. Not a lot, but a start. Anyone got a 1-ton truck?

Oh, did I mention it was free?

Big thanks to our rep Steve Hawkins from Cycleops for donating a Cycleops Mag Trainer to add to the mix of items for tomorrow. Cycelops has some really great products and some of the nicest trainers if anyone isn't familiar with them. Steve is also one of the best reps we have, always super supportive of the LBS's and a genuinely nice guy. The trainer retails at $189.99 so it's a steal for a couple of bucks on a ticket! Come on out tomorrow to support the club and the trails!!

Attention southern members:

VMB was invited to setup and man a booth for their club day (see below). Anybody interested in representing VMB and making this happen? If so, we can hook you up with the materials you'll need. Realize the timing is tough with the grand opening the following weekend. I believe the story is about 30 minutes from Lake Nockamixon.

If I don't hear from anyone by Thursday, Sept 22. I will tell them we cannot make it.

Thanks,
Doug

Hey Guys, I was writing to invite you out for Club Day at the store.

anyone find a black diamondback pedal and craftsman 15mm wrench? i set both down while loading the bike and while loading the car had forgotten them on the ground. this was my first time at nockamixon and i just got a new bike two days ago and just have gotten into the sport..i loved the trail but am dissapointed that when i returned a half hour later both were missing..

It's a Wrench Force hand pump, nothing great but don't want to spend money on a new one if I don't have to. Went to Nox for the first time in awhile Friday night and was loading up and put my pump on the bumper of my truck to fiddle with something. I left and realized it before I even got home but by the time I went back it was already gone (and I did look on the side of the road but I doubt it stayed on my bumper very long).

FYI, High Roads cycles in Doylestown is doing a group ride in Nox on Mondays, meeting at the Tower Rd parking lot at 6pm. Did the second one with them this past Monday, had a bunch of fun. I'm not with the shop, just thought I'd mention it.

Just want to encourage everyone to take a few minutes and read the two new News items on our homepage concerning Nockamixon. Links to the articles are here too:
