Louisville Ride 02-18-2012

As title says - we'll meet on the corner of Rowan st and 10th. Rowan st. is this shitty little cobblestone road north of Main st. I'm thinking around noon.

There is a shit ton of riding here - area is a wasteland with plenty of natural, ledges, old warehouse foundations, floodwalls to drop from , oddly shaped trees, logs, rocks, etc.

So get off your computer and leave your pocket pussy at home, come on out and ride!

Friend just told me about a place I may like, right by downtown. Sadly, I doubt we can ride there.

Weather looks like it'll be awesome! Let's bank on noon.

@Adam - I am not sure! However this is some OK natural here and there along the river...

Decent ride, except for human shit, homeless people, broken chains, skipping freewheels and busted axles.

We found an area by the river with a decent amount of broken slabs of concrete and rocks; however, the area appeared to be a campsite - and upon closer inspection I found several bodies. At that point I was like - 'we need to get the hell out of here.' And on my way back out of the homeless camp, I believe that I may have walked through their shitting area...
