Tour de Palm Springs... who's going?

[bikerchick68]

I am riding only the 50 this year with a friend... but feeling excited to have any event ride coming up... been a while for me with the crazy year I've had... mom's health was not good (better now thank goodness!), had 2 surgeries myself, mileage WAY down... weight up. Ugh! Anyway, this gives me a goal and something to get back to work for...

so who's gonna be there??? Sure hope I get to see some of you I know... and meet a few more... even if you all DO drop me

I more than likely am. I'm doing the 100 (what else? ) It should be a bit different, as it's supposed to start in Downtown PS instead of the HS.

I'll be there! The plan is to do the 100 Glad to see you back in the saddle Jen!

We should try to get reservations for dinner somewhere after... would be fun to all get in, showered and have dinner... then go collapse in the hotels! LOL

I may go up to the top of San Jacinto and hike walk the trails the next day too... if you've not done that, and are into nature, it's VERY cool! Well marked trails and gorgeous mountain top scenery... NOT for those afraid of heights tho since ya gotta take the tram up...

Oh ditto on the whole tram/San Jacinto thing!! Many years ago when I was stuck in Palm Springs for dpeositions, I took the tram up and hiked by myself to the top of San Jacinto. It was just wonderful - a little creepy to be doing it all alone, but just a great hike.

Have fun, you guys!!

Dinner on Saturday sounds good It's only an hour / hour and a half drive for moi(i.e. no hotel needed).
Any ideas? Iwas thinking about the Buffets at the Spa Casino ( www.sparesortcasino.com/ ) in downtown PS, or the Morongo Casino ( www.morongocasinoresort.com/ ), Further out, but next door to the outlet mall ;-) The foods is good at both, and what better excuse to pig out?
