It's France already? Somehow that seemed so far in the future.Quote:

You free for an all day (well 55 mile ride) this Saturday? Get you tuned up for all the gourmet treats in your future?
Where is this 55 mile ride on Saturday? I might be interested...
I'm trying to talk Sue F into changing from her plans of riding from Davis to Berkeley and return via Amtrak (which just sounds horrible - bridges and traffic?) to riding Atlas and Veeder. I had suggested Atlas to MP for her Tnt training rides but that she needed to do something other than Mt George such as your suggestion of Veeder and Atlas. So she put it to the test and gave it a thumbs up. I amended by taking out her extra climb up Dry Creek to the top of Trinity. This was you can ride Atlas early in the ride and find yummy food in Yountville after. Of course you can always do the extra climb or make it a smidgen easier by riding Dry Creek instead of Veeder.

I'm not doing the Davis to Berkeley ride no how. Want to come ride with me? Bubba is in his usual noncommittal mode but will probably go anyway, especially if he has the possibility of whiner duets.
That does look like a fun ride. What time do you want to start?
Weather Wunderground says partly cloudy and 74. Probably don't have to start too horribly early. You say. I'll create a thread in case anyone else wants to go.

I have to decide the time? But I'm the Chief Whiner now, not the Supreme Decider! :rolleyes:
How about 10?
Oops, sorry, but look at the masterful job you did. If the weather takes a turn for the warmer, we can move earlier.
Sad news to report. Mr Robb was riding no-handed on the levy path Friday and lost control of his bike. He is now home nursing a separated shoulder and stitches in eyebrow, plus numerous contusions, abrasions, and road rash, and the demise of glasses, shorts and helmet. Need I say more?Quote:

Snap, you want me to post on the Davis Bike Club email that your reg is also available? Can it be transferred to the 65 mile route?
Oh no that is terrible news. I hope your friend is feeling better soon.Quote:

Snap, registration transfer must be done by email before 7:30 am today (April 1) so let me know ASAP. I'll PM you.
Mostly lurker, but I'm going too, with my riding buddy and her friend. Of course, I've been sick this weekend instead of on my bike, so I have no idea what shape I'll be in on Saturday. And I'm a flatlander to boot! Oh well. Feed me, and play music, and I'll give it my best shot. It's my first time doing this.:eek:

Hi, Dee! It's a beautiful ride. There always seem to be lots of wildflowers. The course has lots of nice rolling terrain that is just fun.
Keep an eye out for our Amici Veloci jerseys and say hi.
Sure thing! Everytime I'm at Steady Eddies, or pass people on the rode, I wonder if one of them is you! :) What color are those jerseys? My friend and I are both around 5' and Asian. We usually ride on Sundays, as she's a runner and her long training runs (she does marathons) are on Saturdays.
I'm glad it's mostly rolling hills! I like those! I'm not one of those that can ride forever, my body gets really worn and tired feeling at around 50 miles, much less 65! I've been riding a couple of years now.

Here's the AV jersey

Jeremy (my husband) is doing this one while I stay home and clean the house for Easter. It seems unfair somehow. If you see a long-haired guy on a Giant, tell him he should stop and pick up flowers for his wife on the way home.
Or actually, tell him to pick up a pie. His wife would like a pie.
What kind and can I have a piece? :)
I need cake. I'm sick, and won't be able to ride. Well, I could ride, and expose everyone with my nasy long lasting head cold, but I decided not to.
Pout.
OK, so I'm 2 weeks late. How was this ride? Where are the ride reports?
Where's your ride report?
I dunno about ours. Fun time, beautiful weather, not much for wildflowers as it was too dry a winter. No endos at the speed bump. Better food than last year will all vegetarian options. I don't think there was a chicken or cow in site.
Jobob wrote up something. What happened to it? Is it another thread? Maybe in her bikejournal log. She's obviously turning into the club historian.
Never mind the ride how was the holiday??:DQuote:

I'll go look at bj for the ride report.
Glad to hear you had a good time but sorry to hear about the flu. Get well soon.Quote:
