It was an awesome night ! 50 -55 degrees a little cloudy and the conditions were perfect. we were worriedthat it was going to be muddy , but it was just the opposite , it was Bone dry and dusty.

I had planned to do a 7 Pm ride , that I was leading, But I left work at 4 and knew thet Smoking Joe was leading a ride at 5:30 so I got on my Bike and hauled butt to get over ther to meet them.

But on t he way I ran into another group of riders out there a group from Busted spoke. here is manitouman

Allready own a set of the 2.35 stick-e's, and plan on transitioning them over. I was just too lazy to mount them before last night's ride. :rolleyes: :)

It sure does look that way in the first pic when we were still at Splat's place. It's a large, and should be the correct size. Maybe the combo of the sloping top tube and a low seat positon make it look that way? :confused:

Too funny - I didn't notice it upon first look - must be camera angle because I've met Steve and a large would definitely fit him. In that pic of him on the bike in his baseball hat, he looks like Andre the Giant or something. Weird.

Steve is that a 2005?
