Hey all, Im thinking of hitting a nice long ride at Croom on Sunday. At least the blue loop and maybe some yellow. ANyone want to meet up and ride? No crazy pace just a nice distance ride.

Hey Dan o, I might be interested. I will be single speeding it though. I will let you know. That is in my neighborhood

Singletrack Samurai · « **Reply #2 on:** January 12, 2010, 04:08:27 PM »

What time? I might be interested as well.. Just take it easy on me hammer head..

Dan-o · « **Reply #3 on:** January 12, 2010, 04:53:15 PM »

was thinking no later than 9am start. Maybe start at trail head one - break at Tucker hill and finish back at TH1. Not fast just casual distance ride.

Eruption · « **Reply #4 on:** January 12, 2010, 05:06:39 PM »

I will most likely be able to make this one. The trails should be in good shape as it is supposed to rain Fri and Sat.

I'll be out there with the misses on sunday sometime around noon try not to run us over

Dan, I am in for a nice long ride... PUSH has finished my shock, and if they overnight it back to me, like they said... I will have my bike ready. It would be a good time to dial it in before El Lagarta... I can also get those brakes from ya.

I have never done Croom... so, I'm looking forward to the change of scenery. I will let you know...

Darren,

you will like Croom.. lots of miles and some nice fun areas. real hills to climb and ride down also... Wish I could make it out there for this...

Dan-o · « **Reply #8 on:** January 14, 2010, 07:29:02 AM »

Awesome Darren, hope u can makeit. Croom is a unique ride. If you like to get away from it all this is the place.

kiltedranger · « **Reply #9 on:** January 14, 2010, 04:40:07 PM »

Ok, shock is back on my bike... so, I am good to go. I will do a map check to see how to get there... what time? I live in St. Pete, on Gandy Blvd... near the dog track. So, that's where I have to drive from...

MT · « **Reply #10 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:04:01 PM »

Be careful, the samaurai will turn this one into an individual time trial!

Jonesy · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2010, 04:26:55 PM »

I am up for it if the rain is over/almost over. Any final word on the start time? I will be in a gray honda ridgeline with a cdale rush.

psychlyst · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2010, 04:29:28 PM »

I'll be out sometime Sunday with friends-leaving from fire tower trailhead either lower blue or yellow first...if you see a tall MFer on a lt blue Specialized FSR with a camo helmet,say hi...trails should be good n packed with the rain we're due!

kiltedranger · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2010, 07:28:27 PM »

I'm still in for a ride... I just have to map track it, and figure out what time to be there... Dan, I hope to meet up with ya. Give me a call when you head out in the morning...

SandPine · « **Reply #18 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:48:34 AM »

Dan, I been out for a while... did you ever make it to the Croom 50?

Dan-o · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2010, 02:49:30 PM »

No SP, I didnt do the Croom 50. I hve been riding there alot this last year so I didnt make it to the "official" croom ride

SandPine · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:07:30 PM »

well if you want to try it again let me know... i won't let you quit until you finish all the blue this time..

Dan-o · « **Reply #21 on:** February 17, 2010, 11:11:09 AM »

yeah man, I need to getout and do the 50 on my own soon. Jonesy and I did 35 that weekend before Ididride.

ClintonRH · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2010, 12:16:01 PM »

Did a full lap of Blue on my cyclocross bike. The downhills are kinda scary on the skinny tires but for some reason that bike almost makes the climbs fun. They sure seem to go by a lot faster. Maybe it's because the gears don't seem to reach half as deep as my MTB so there's no choice but to just power up.

Definitely doing Ididaride on the cross bike next year. With only a few exceptions (like the stairs and some of the crossings) that route is perfect for the cross bike.

Jonesy · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2010, 12:24:48 PM »

I am up for it next weekend if the weather cooperates. carboncavy and I did 30 on saturday and it was a blast.

I did it back in 06 on my cross, it was fun for sure, did the stair drops as well LOL

Skinman · « **Reply #25 on:** February 17, 2010, 12:32:06 PM »

I'm in for Sunday morning 20 - 30 mi or so. I cant keep up with "A" group pace especially over 20 I need to pace myself at 9mph or so...........
jonesy and crew could bury me at will if I tried to keep up with their fast pace.
If anyone wants to do that type of ride let me know.

I think my cross wheels would detonate on those stair drops. My Aksiums are pretty tough but my landings aren't the prettiest. With my fat ass on the bike I don't think the 18 radial spoke front wheel would stand a chance. They occasionally make truly horrible noises as is. Don't think I would chance it.
