Hello Trail Lovers!

Join @Nickkleb, I, and company, for a weekly shred on Mont-Royal, starting next Tuesday at 7AM.

New to the trails? Fearful of jackknifing ? Worried if you can send a jump? Unsure of whether you can handle a descent? Fear not! The wizard that is Nick Kleban will impart his wisdom on all us MTB noobs.

See you at the statue on Parc !

That sounds like fun! I hope I can join you soon. However, I’m new to mountain bikes so I have a few questions:

  1. How rough is the terrain? Should I get a clutch front derailleur?
  2. How much rebound should my tires have?
  3. My cycling shorts say ‘road bibs’. Are they save to use off-road?

Thanks

Clutch is nice but not necessary if you have a good derailleur to begin with. Don’t worry about rebound, your suspension will make a bigger difference IMO. Those bibs are definitely not safe to use - put shorts over them.

Any chance this could be an evening ride instead? Mornings can be a bit sketchy with work.

Second evening rides. Also are these still happening?

If the demand is there, let’s do it. Sorry, this morning was swapped out for a road ride. How does 6PM weekly work for you guys?

Yes! Due to popular demand, this will take place on Thursday (11th July) this week if people can make it for 6PM? We can meet at the George-Etienne statue and do some trails on Mont-Royal.

Who’s in?

@FelixF @Nickkleb @ewilson @tesseract97 . The weather looks terrible tomorrow evening. 100% chance of thunderstorms at 6PM.

Would it be a stretch to make the ride in the morning, say at 7AM or even earlier?

Getting up early is worth it for biking! 7am sounds good to me :slight_smile:

Or earlier I guess if that’s works better for others…
