I know it's crazy, but I am planning my first ride - I believe I'll be able to ride 1/6. So who's up for 50-ish miles in January? Mostly rollery. (Mill Valley/Nicasio loop - possible celebratory mimosas following.....)
Rain doesn't cancel. But in the event of rain, the riding is optional and the mimosas mandatory.

50 miles for your first ride? Does your coach know you're crazy? My first ride post-DVT (and it was only six weeks in) was a whopping 15 miles and it felt like a century. If this is supposed to be fun for you, Sarah, keep it short and sweet and social. And if you're feeling good, you'll be crying for more!

Keep me posted!! I'd love to finally ride with some of the TE ladies. Just not too early in the AM. Can we wait until it warms up a LITTLE bit?

You guys do know you're talking to someone who is running a marathon this weekend? And, has been doing spinning classes and Spinervals all along? I'm all with you on keeping it reasonable, but this is MP. I figure we'll all be there keeping an eagle eye on her. She'll hate us at the end of the ride. No one will ever be more than 2 feet from her.

If it's raining, I won't be there! There is a limit. Unless, of course, we relocate the ride to someplace with hot toddies.

I believe the consensus is to do it 1/7. I will start a new post w/revised date and details. our internet still isn't working though our power's back after 3 days which is good enough for me!!
EDIT - duh it is the 6th. I need to confirm when cpr class is over and will get start time and details. at least starting later will allow things to warm up. it was 35 in samuel p taylor park today.Last edited by maillotpois; 12-30-2006 at 12:40 PM.
