			<description>I'm trying to plan a ride to France for next Spring. A few of us old guys from my office want to make a couple day ride - something nice, fairly easy ride we can take it slow and easy.



We are planning to ride from Ramstein area to Sarreguemines France on the Glan-Blies Weg trail. I have ridden as far as Bruchof near Homburg but never past there.



Does anyone have any information on the trails from Niedermohr to Sarreguemines? Would like to try to get a track I could put into my GPS to make  ...</description>

We did this last week and it was great!  This has been a tradition of the RACC in years past as kind of an interval ride by surging towards each villages yellow entrance sign.  The surging might have to wait a month or so until we  ...</description>

Hi,

This is a great chance for the 60+ members here on Saber Cycling (and hopefully some of the RACC crew) to meet each other before the riding season gets here.

The movie is &quot;Race Across the Sky&quot; which is actually still in theatres in the US. The folks over at Citizen Pictures wanted to do something for the troops and they were nice enough to send us a copy for group use.

			<description>I need a top up on my stans sealant.  The small bottles.  Also need some more porlink gold lube.  Movers wouldn't take it for us overseas.  Can't even imagine how long Nashbar or Performance would take for ground shipping to get it here.  The CO2 I added to an order from Nashbar in December just got here on 28 Feb.  Took so long I had forgotten I bought it.</description>

			<description>Hi there,



There was an PN in my box from Zach about SiS2010 but the system ate it ... !

SiS2010 was sold out in the first five hours of the first day of the year.

As always there is some room for US Armed Forces - I make you work for it!!!

I will not be able to give everybody who wants to ride a Solo spot - so the more teams you come up with the better. 

And there won't be enough space for every rider to bring his own car.

Well you can always park outside ... to put it simply: we need  ...</description>

I've seen the course and it's a nice combination of single-track and forest roads with a couple nice ascents.  We are pre-running the course this Saturday at 10am if anyone is interested.  I will post directions to the start and a link for registration if anyone is interested.</description>

<br />

<br />
the trails I rode are the ones over by Kaiserslautern East, near Homberg Turm and Beilstein.

Anybody else been out on any trails and find them at least somewhat rideable?]]></description>

Hopefully the trails will be clear enough to ride if the weather stays like it is now. I am going to play it by ear and see what happens between now and then, but if anyone is interested let me know. I was thinking Sun. but am flexible.</description>

I had previously cycled and dome some recreational road and MTB racing in Southern California since I was in young.

I tried to set this up so we could get it to a theater in Balad but I ran out of time. I ran into Slater at the Deid and forgot to tell him about it (Sorry Andy. Hope you see this in time!!!) Anyway, the nice people at Citizen Pictures wanted to do something for the troops and they sent us an advance copy of the movie. For those who've never heard of it (come out of you cave more often) here is the website:

			<description>Hello all, I just PCS'd in from okinawa, I have been away from cycling for about 10 years but am ready to get back in the saddle...now to buy a new bike...Where to start and what to buy? Roadie, MTB, SS, so many choices..I'm thinking a MTB of some flavor will be first since my street ends by turning into a trail into the forest in Landstuhl Melkerei.  Looking forward to the spring and this white stuff to go away.</description>

Would you run a single tire year round?  If so what would it be?

Would you prefer to switch tires out as the seasons changed, and if so, what would those tires be?

Would your dream tire changes depending on if it was a 29 inch wheel  ...</description>

I would just like to know if it is like a Flanders Cyclosport (ie: one that is at your own pace and leasure) or is this one more like the Tour's Etape which is sort've a race?  I tried signing up for the Amstel Gold Cyclosport but I was an hour too late.  All 12,000 registrations were filled in 40 minutes this year...ouch!  Any info on Mooiste is appreciated.</description>

I've been here and there, but my riding has taken a serious hit since the snow started.



Because of my job, the only time I really have to ride during the week is very early in the morning, and even my considerable lack of common sense and self-preservation can't get right with the idea of rding early in the morning, in the dark, in slick dangerous trail conditiosn in sub-freezing temps alone.

Ok, I want to have a nice bike, well geared up. But still... So I was thinking, is it worth while buying a bike online in the States and have it shipped to Europe, now the dollar is so low? Can anybody help me out here?

This way I would remind myself that I need to ride to work. I spent money on a new set of Dinottee light for this.  So I got up but my riding gear on and rode to work.  I was actually sweating after I got down the mountain and started pedaling.   Now for the ride home which will be better since it's almost all up hill.  The trip is from Stelzenberg to ROB and Back.  ...</description>

This frame has a seat mast and WITHOUT a crank on, it is 31 inches tall.  My travel case is only 29 inches tall.  My goal would be to borrow it, send it empty to my friend in VA and send it back through APO.  Has anybody sent an empty case before?  I know to send my 29er here was about $80 with insurance, so I would imagine it would be under that.  ...</description>

			<description>Just an FYI for anyone looking for a trainer this winter.  I just picked up a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine from Frank's for 140 euro.  It was special order but only took two days to get here.  That's a smokin' price for a usually $300+ USD machine, and no waiting on the APO.</description>
