    R3V Gaper Mountain Bike Ride - Saturday April 2nd

    THE RIDE IS ON GUYS, SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION

    R3V Gaper Mountain Bike Ride. 1-3 hour ride on easy trails at Marshall Mesa. Easiest riding in Boulder, but still fun and great way to dust off the skills.

    When: Saturday, April 2nd at 12:00pm

    What to Bring:

    A mountain bike in good working order. Get your shit tuned up, tires inflated, chain lubed, etc. Nothing ruins a ride worse than unnessesary equipment failure.
    Spare Tubes, tire irons, and a tool. Someone should bring a small pump too. I can bring one if nobody else has one. I usually ride with a Big Air.
    Proper cycling clothes (the gayer the better). It could be cold or windy so have a light layer you can throw on if we get caught out. Check the forecast on Friday as it will surely change between now and then.
    Water - bottles or camel back. I carry my shit in my jersey and use bottles, especially for Marshall.
    Nutrition - just a snack if you are prone to bonking. It's easy riding so we shouldn't be out there long enough for people to start bonking. I bring apples and GU's for shorter rides. Recharge is my favorite riding drink. You can find it at Whole Foods and King Soopers in the natural section.

    Where:

    Marshall Mesa Trail Head. It's on the south EAST side of Eldorado Springs Drive at the intersection of Eldorado Springs Drive and HW 93 south of Boulder. The dirt lot fills up quick. If it's full there is more parking on the north side of Eldorado Springs Rd between Eldorado Springs Rd and HW 93.

    I have a pump I can bring, I'll have to check if I have spare tubes, I think I gave my last 2 to a buddy. Don't think I have a tire iron or "tool"..


    Gayer the better eh

          You can pick up some tubes and tire irons at Performance for cheap on Saturday morning. If you don't have a tool I'll have one. I don't have any 26" tubes as I don't have any more 26" bikes. Sam bring the E30, my bike fits in the back seat if I take both wheels off.

                  Go to Performance like Alex said (I'll prolly go too, we can go together, cept you'll be in Golden, oh well)... They sell like repair kits in a little plastic box, small enough to put like 5 of em in a backpack / camelback without issue. I don't remember what all is in there but it's like a tube, and other stuff. Though I could be wrong

                      I know where the trailhead is and no I really would prefer not to ride a single speed all the way there.

                        I'm in. I'll bring a floor pump for anyone who needs air, it'll do presta and schrader valves.

                          I'm gonna ride from my place too. Brad all you need to pick up is a 29er tube and some tire irons. If you get a flat you won't want to fix it in the trail anyway. Do you know if and when sealant was put in your tubes? If not, you probably should at some point. If pick up a bottle of Stans I can fill and remount your tires before the ride.

                            The PO said something along the lines of the sealant hasn't dried up yet. He said the tires were really new. He included a spare 29er tube.

                              Gonna have to pass on the extended ride this time... My bikes would be slow and painful. If we go to Hall at some point I would be in. That's about the limit to my down:up ratio. Also it's short enough so I can push my rig up the hill.

                              Kill it out there guys, should be fun!

                              Man, I really need to get a trail bike...
