Group Road Rides: Sat, 6/17 & Sun 6/18

I'm in for Saturday and so is my dad!

Hey Trouble Maker,


I am in for Sat. and I am not inviting Dad. Polly please dont get offended we are debating this whole offensive thing in another forum and its Robs fault!

MM

But Meridith would be happy!

Before this ride can we verify that I'm bringing the right bike? Last time I rode with you testosterone-charged animals I ended up mountain biking on a flat-bar road bike because someone thought it would be fun to go off-road!

No THAT is something you'll have to take up w/ Seth!

yah, what she said…

what kind of bike and how much testosterone…?

LOL!

Road or Tri bike and very low levels of testosterone!

-- I agree with the bike part, not so sure about the testosterone part...

Don't worry Pam- we can handle them .

Okay, now I'm scared!

I'm not afraid of anything

Yikes,

Pam - I think we had a nice day at Shamrock. No need to get concerned. This will be my longest ride of the year by about 20 miles so I am gonna be at the back.

Unless I want to be in traction I will be on the road bike.

Polly- Dont side with rob cause he took you swimming last night. I am not vicious ( atleast no one says it to my face) just my pal Rob and I having a little fun. You must have missed the disclaimer where it says pay no attention to the idiots..that would Rob and me.

It is interesting to see how many other people piled on. It was a very slow day at work and it helped pass the time a lil quicker.

The only animal on the ride is Rob, I hear he challenged Heather Fuhr to a bike race this weekend! Can you believe that guy messing with the 5 time IMLP Champ...

Rob, careful your BLOG is showing...actually last time we went to the Marl-T I think I ate some blog..yuk

MM or HM we shall see

Seth, me too thinks we had a nice day at Shamrock. Like I said—i'm not scared — or, at least, not much. ;p

before u say u r not scared go back to main forum i posted a pic of me and the new bike...u may want to rethink that ...

So I get home early to go for a swim and it is pouring outside...what gives with the weather??

this stinks!!!


MM

ok—i'm a little scared

this weather does suck!

Hey now... I'll be luck if I even get to see her this weekend. And if it is on the bike, that will just be an added bonus.

And the only challenge I'm throwing out this weekend is to myself: To not hurl on the climbs!

About next weekend's rides:
These are going to be EASY rides! I am looking to do some century-paced rides to get ready for the MS ride the following weekend. Both rides will use pretty much the same course with the Sat ride throwing on a few extra miles, and hills, at the end.

I want to make it clear that these rides will be casual! They are about distance and time in saddle, not speed. And hopefully they will also be about a bunch of friends getting together for a good time!
