ESCKTC Bike Ride Sunday (Page 7)

Ummm......the Flame is AJ's t*t-tay bar.  (And I when I say "AJ", I don't mean Aaron Jackson. However, it COULD be Aaron's fav t*t-tay bar. Not sure. He will have to let us know).

Yes...you are right Paulette, Chris is NOT the authority on where we ride, or else we WOULD end up at the Flaming Feed bag!!  BUT I am not the authority either! Buuuut...having said that......due to most of our needing to prepare for Soma, I would propose we do the "Square" around TTL that includes the dip down the hard hill, then run around TTL.  BUT I can be a sheep and do whatever the group wants to do as well. As long as it's safe. I'm the safety girl, ya know!

Because the Chip-N-Dales still have their teeth.

I agree it's a boring loop.  Well, I had originally planned on doing TdG and running on the canal, but again, am up for whatever the group wants.

I talked to Harry at Yogurt last night and he agreed that the SOMA course was a goofy course and not worth doing now that we already know what it is.

He said he threw out the South Mountain ride but that nobody responded to it. 

And loops keep those of us in the back of the bus from being lost all day as eventually you will catch up on your second pass to where I was dazed and confused on the road.

Here's my proposal:

We do the South Mountain loop, leaving from Tempe Town Lake, going down Hardy to Guadalupe, and joining with the other route in Little Mexico. It adds a couple miles making it 51miles, and the Lake course is there for the SOMA run training.

Breakfast at US Egg to follow.

Now, all that said I don't know how much I can do. My folks will be in town. Maybe I'll see if they want to have brunch with a bunch of smelly people

Harry's plan it is then.

Meet at TTL at 6 ready to ride at 6:15 then??  Be packing food and water for a long ride!!  (Or at least bring some moola for a QT stop along the way if necessary)
