Is the R&I dead?  I wanted to join today but I'm back from a week in the NE and in catch-up mode at work.

Next time, ask yourself: "Is it Tuesday?"

What is the likelihood that we'll be able to ride the nut on Tuesday night?

.44" in the last 4 days, 0" in the past 48 hrs. It's probably perfect right now. It would take significant rain to stop this week's R&I. 

Dibs on Sun 6th, Tue 8th evening, Thursday 10th evening, Sat 12th. 😉

Bring lights.

Its not a 100% set time.  It ebbs a bit from when everyone arrives and then collectively decides to roll.  All that said, I usually try to arrive around 5:10-15 and see who begins to gather up.  Quite often a few will roll up from an 'early lap' and its not uncommon to head out for the 'fast lap' around 5:25-30'ish.  

The "legends lap" comprised primarily of the old-guard R&I'rs usually has a pretty similar schedule.  But can be a few minutes later because most are coming from work, and might be stuck in traffic a bit.  But generally, I'd say the same thing for both groups.  5:15 arrive---5:30 head out.  +/- minutes.  YMMV

Personally I'd love to see more people come out and join in.  ITs always a fun time no matter which group you want to jump into.  Bring a lawn chair and a cold 6pk

Later,

I'm just here for the acknowledgement of The Legends

Pretty sure WC totally missed the rain event yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. 

It was perfect yesterday afternoon

In for the 5:30 Friendly Legends group.

Long Live the R&I!

Any updates?

.04" – .08" near Walnut in the last 48. 

Of course, here's the rain… Guess I'll de riding the Schwinn.

Innage looking good.

I liked the LOViT better than Womble. Runs from the dam to mt ida on south shore of lake Ouachita. Also south of Hot Springs on Lake De Grey the Iron Mtn trail is a blast. Haven’t been yet but they added great Bentonville-like stuff onto Cedar Glades in HS. Think it’s called Northwoods.

And yeah I need to make it to bentonville.

Concurr. The LOViT is a much better ride.

Had some fun here at the office...probably not a "budget build" but it'd be a sweet ride.

Karate Monkey 27.5+ build

Forgot to mention, that’s a neat tool, Teamsloan

At $600 for a double butted CrMo bike it's hard for me not to get one.   I don't need one....

Cullen (@cmc4130) has a Pine Mountain and it looks like a sweet ride.

I know, Antonio.

Thanks for the intel, Tree Magnet. I'll check w/ Cullen and get some feedback on the bike.

Did you see the shipping on the Surly? $200!? It's not the sexiest of the bunch, but that Marin does look pretty sweet at that price, especially if it qualifies for the "free shipping over $50".

Yeah, that’s still $500 less than retail, though…

Here’s what I’m thinking:

Kona Unit

Surly Karate Monkey

Marin Pine Mountain

That Surly Lowside looks like a hoon.

It really does. BSS currently has one for close to $1k, but single speed. I really want the gears.
