ParticipantNope, my bike’s a good 15 pounds heavier… not counting the chocolate milkshakes.
If I’m riding in a vacuum I’ll probably have other things to worry about than who can roll downhill faster

I’ve noticed that the additional weight from a baby trailer does not make up for the extra wind and rolling resistance on lengthy downhills.
Darn babies, lazing around in their fancy trailers and not pulling their weight!

ParticipantI was hoping the mighty tank-like weight of the MTB would magically overcome the resistance of the tires. Kinda like how I could pass people on downhills in my 1976 Pontiac Bonneville.
I guess that doesn’t work when the mighty tank-like weight is mashing all that extra rubber into the road, huh?

ParticipantEek! Be careful out there, folks. Keep the rubber side down.

ParticipantWhee! I think I’ll rent a CaBi and ride home! If there’s a really good tailwind I can just sail right over the river.

ParticipantI need to keep an extra helmet at work for CaBi days
And maybe some pants. I hear pants are good.

ParticipantWell if you’re glacial then I’m a plate tectonic or something…

ParticipantThat was super fun!
It was great to meet everyone. I’m much more shy in person.
I only crashed into the railing on the ped bridge a little bit, I made it halfway up the hill before dying, and I got to use my hilarious disco spoke lights! So win all around.
Oh, and sorry for eating your burger, Mr. Dirt sir!

ParticipantI ‘spect I’ll be there around 6:30 – 6:45

ParticipantIf hops like poison ivy, they’ll do smashingly. There’s a whole other mulberry tree on the other side of the bridge you can eat

ParticipantToday’s ride in was AWESOME! Perfect weather.
Followed a nice guy named Dave with a mailbox on his rack. We stopped by the 14th St Bridge and picked mulberries for a bit.

ParticipantI’ll buy a beer for anyone that wants to tow me up the hill afterwards
