  1. Just when I get comfortable riding my local trails mother nature throws
    a curve at me... All the leaves are coming down now, and with the
    rain it's made my trails WAY harder. I'm slipping all over the
    wood/leaf covered bridges, I'm spinning out trying to climb the steeper
    sections, I can barely see the trails in some areas due to all the
    leaves making for some 'fun' rock/root surprises, at least it hasn't
    affected the steep downhill parts... I can feel myself sliding but can
    keep it in control.

    Just had to let that out...

    Back to riding...

  2. Maple leafs are the worst offender. I blame the Canadians.

    At least on uni's we don't slide out on corners near as bad as on
    bikes.

    Yea, but this image below is the only country with a Maple Leaf on its
    flag and where 'Maple Leafs' (http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/) are found.

    Maybe more flags need Maple Leaves.

    anton005, have you done any riding with the SARS(Seattle Area RiderS)?

  6. You guys south of Canada should swap your stars for leaves.

    Afterall, according to that map I posted, you guys have more Maple
    trees than us.

    Whats worse though is the Ice in the winter...

    Not true, all that map shows is where maple trees can be found growing.
    It says nothing of the number of maple trees; the smaller area in
    Canada where they are growing could possibly have a much denser
    population of them.

    Harper, John_Childs, tomblackwood, and I check into the list quite a bit
    so a PM to any of us will get you in touch. There is a local e-mail
    list that you can subscribe to.

    And for the record: My comments above regarding blaming Canadians are
    not to be construed as disparaging to our neigbors to the North. Over
    half of my extended family are Canadians and I often end my sentences
    with "eh".

    Here are some facts you won't find anywhere else, including wikipedia:

    The US Flag originally called for maple leafs instead of stars. Due to
    her arthritis, Betsy Ross couldn't handle the intricate cutting and
    stichery of the palmated leaf so she made an executive decision to go
    with stars that only involved simpler linear cuts.

    In 1896 John Philip Sousa wrote "Leafs and Stripes Forever" to set the
    record straight but that was changed against his will to "Stars and
    Stripes Forever".

    Is that the truth, or are you being sarcastic? Again, my sarcasm
    detector does not function over the internet.
