The swag for Duffield is off the charts with big thanks to ProGold Bikes VO2 Multisport Outlet SRAM and many more. Also this year all riders in every class will have a shot at several KOM prem's At the start of each wave riders will have a KOM bonus for being the first to reach the start summit. Waiting at the top one of our fine KPS volunteers will be holding a miniature bottle of bourbon (plastic airplane size) grab the bottle stuff it in your jersey, present it at the finish and you will be able to choose one of many fine bottles of Kentucky's Finest Bourbon, Jim Beam. But ya gotta grab that little bottle if you want the big one.

I will be in South Bend next weekend and would like to try and squeeze a ride in. I figure the trails are too far away for my time slot. Does anyone know any group road rides that head out Sunday morning? Or have any other suggestions?

Thanks

I hope to give CX a try this fall. The thing is I don't have a CX bike.

I will be using a SS and need some help figuring out what gearing to use.

What I am looking for is what change in gearing do you use for CX compared to XC or gravel stuff?

Sorry this is not really find a ride topic unless someone wants to join me on my ride.

Next week I am dropping a few kids off at scout camp at Ransburg after some baseball games. I would like to find an inexpensive place I can throw up a tent and crash for the night. I will probably not be getting there until late.

I thought about driving over to BCSP, camping and riding in the morning, but I really would rather not pay $16 for the few hours I would actually be using my camp site. Is there any place around Ransburg or hickory area that I can crash?

My plan is to get a ride in the next morning, probably at BCSP or maybe Hickory.

Thanks

I am looking at upgrading the fork on one of my bikes. Here is a list of the potential options. I know some are supposedly better then others, but that usually comes at a price. I do not have a good history of having luck with air. I also know there is some difference in weight for these. I do want it to be as light as possible, but only if it is worth the extra $$.

Anyone have any experience with any of these?
