Friday, July 1st

On the other hand, I might say "the hell with 'em all" and join you anyhow.
Just tell me where you're meeting and maybe I'll show - everything you're bandying about looks fine by me. If I end up going I'll PM ya's & call V. on her cell.

- Jo.

I've never done this particular Grizzly course either - I was hoping to "explore" last weekend but worked instead :(.

I have maps! Not that they're any help at all, but I'm playing with Streets & Trips, so humor me.

Here's Morgan Territory-Diablo (ignore numbers):

Very pretty blue line! None of this means anything to me.

Just tell me when and where.

Thom says you should pick Kim. He'll SAG us no matter where. It's making me lazy, not having to carry everything. :D Think of how many Red Bulls we can have!

V.

Oh god, V and Kim on caffeine. That's ALL I need. Jooooooo!!! Please come.

After careful consideration :rolleyes:, I think South Gate/Morgan Territory is my choice.

I'm not sure on the road closure status of MT, but if we're lucky there won't be any cars!

Okey-dokey. Where's the start? What time? I assume this is Map #1?

Guess this is a day for hill-climbing gears.

How's the train museum for a starting place? 8:30 or 9? Later makes the traffic easier, but earlier makes it cooler.

V.

I'd prefer to start plugging away at 8:30. Got to find the directions again to the museum.

Just remember - he can be fined for allowing you to hold the water bottle too long and pick up speed from him! I believe the current rate is 50 swiss francs! :p

Uh-huh, no way, no how! The one-handed wonder needs to keep his hand on the wheel. :eek:

The one handed wonder has to give up his sling! Progress is being made!

Oh, good news!! So, how's his typing? :o

So, are we agreed?

8:30 am at the Train Museum?

Jo, please ditch work for the morning. If both Kim and V are on caffeine . . . .on the other hand, you like caffeinated Gu right? Wonder what it takes to bribe Thom into rationing out the drugs.

8:30 am at the Train Museum


That's where I'm gonna be. I don't know what you're worried about. If your lungs are clear, I'll be eating your dust again. :p Is Bubba coming?
