Would you be interested?

I think Bicycles Etc are planning on being part of a regular ride.

I'd make as many of them as I can.  I think these rides could be a great way to educate the new and uninformed trail riders about responsible trail use.

If I can make it I'll be there.  For those who turn up late, bring your lights!  I'll always ride into the night with ya!

OK, the weather is awfull and KK is not the place to ride at the moment but...

Regular ride is looking back on!

I talked with Greg and he is going to check with the Wheelers if they are wanting in too, but it looks like the first thirsday of the month (and possibly the third) starting in July.

Looking forward to it!

This sounds great to do a regular ride at KK (and to add lights!) I'd love to join the ride.

I'd like to respectfully request that the Knock Knolls regualr rides please be on a night other than Wednesday. There is a long-standing tradition for a Wednesday night ride at Palos, even though it is not posted, called out, or on the calendar. Folks just show up on every Wednesday (if trails are open) to ride.

It would likely increase the attendance at the KK rides, if they were on anotehr night other than Wed.  Just a thought.

It's penciled in for first and third Thursday of the month   

It's good to have options for several mid week rides once the rain goes away!

Why Thursday!  My wife usually has book club on those nights.  Oh well, I'll make it when I can and ride on other nights instead.

If Wednesdays work best for most folks and the Bicycles Etc crew it shouldn't be an issue to have the rides on Wednesdays. 

Yes I know there is the usual ride at Palos on Wednesdays but you can't have too many options for different group rides at different places.
Besides how many of you that hit Palos on Wednesday nights are really coming to Knoch Knolls?  If it was any other day of the week would you be at KK?

I'm not big on changing things for perceived conflicts. If there is actual conflict with the people that would ride both of these locations on a Wednesday let your voice be heard and then we can make an educated decision.

Don't change it on my bequest especially as I would ride Palos on Wednesdays....

Stick with Thursday and I'll make it when I can.  Otherwise I'll ride on Tuesdays or when ever I can at KK.  Also in the height of summer I am often good for an evening into the night ride after the Children go to bed so if anyone wants to ride in the dark just send me a note.

My light sits fully charged. I wish I had someplace to use it.
