Weekend Plans?

[snapdragen]

Oh boy, it's almost here. What fun things are y'all planning?

No ride for me, but I'm doing bike related stuff, volunteering at the AIDS/LifeCycle Day on the Ride. Gives me an excuse to spend the night in San Francisco on Saturday, since I have to be at Crissy Field by 4:30 am (yes, that's AM)

Oh yeah, all SF or Marin County riders - be forwarned, there will be approximately 600 LifeCyclers on the roads Sunday!

Need to do some yard work, want to tile my bathroom floor. Have a new brownie recipe I want to try. We haven't made it into the Maritime Park to volunteer in about a month. Probably won't make it this weekend either. Oh... and there's the endless housework and papers I need to grade.

Ride wise - probably do the Sunday Club ride, extend it out to go up Morgan Territory, down into Livermore and back home Vasco Road. That'll be about 80 miles. Vasco is the road we hit 59 on!

For me, it's a commuting to the pool (seems like!) and a little Shopping (!!!), then on Sunday, a 60-mile invitational with the tri club. I'm very excited, even if the weather isn't ideal!!!

It's off to France for me and my finace on Saturday morning for some r,r 'n' r for the weekend. That's riding, rest n recouperation!

Hope to do a nice long ride on Saturday afternoon, after a quick visit to our favourite caff for a hot chocolate, then another couple of hours on Sunday. Should be great!

The little cottage we stay at is right in the middle of the country so the roads are very quite and what drivers do pass you always give you plenty of room. For all they know they could be passing France's next -big- thing in cycling so they're very good at letting you have lots of room.

BTW - I'm not France's next big thing in cycling, but hopefully a few hours sweating in the saddle will stop me from becoming a great 'big thing' afer all that yummy French food!

OOOOOO... I envy you Liz. A weekend getaway to France. I suppose it's akin to us San Francisco folk going to Napa or Sonoma. But France sounds so much more romantic.

Have fun!

I'm flying to Denmark Saturday morning and working out there all next week. I hate how the eastbound flight takes 2 whole days, great way to kill a weekend I get back home late Friday night but the jetlag will probably wipe me out for Saturday & Sunday, so that's 2 precious weekends down the tubes.

( Don't mind me, I'm feeling a bit stressed and whiney right now ... waaaa )

I will be going to Geyserville (Sonoma area) this weekend to ride with the cycling club. Sat will be an 85 mile ride with some nice climbing (~5000'). Sunday will be a shorter and more relaxed ride. Weather will be hot so I am drinking lots of water so I won't get dehydrated tomorrow!

I'm going up norht to the cottage. It's going to be in the 50's and rainy. Should I bring my bike? Or hmmm should I plan on nice cozy rainy day naps and leave the bike warm and dry at home?

I am racing in the 24-hours of Adrenalin in Monterey on May 15th and 16th, so Sunday my team and I are preriding the course together. It’s only an 11 mile loop, but we have to ride about 7 or 8 miles (mostly climbing) to get to the start point. Saturday I might go for an easy road ride. I haven’t taken my road bike out for a while. Not quite as interesting as going to France…

We're riding Diablo on Saturday. Details are in California if you'd like to join us.

Saturday morning ten mile trail run with "the girls". Let me just say - it is amazingly beautiful in Boise, in the foothills, in the mornings - then coffee and chatty time . Anyway, then off to my son's soccer game, then a bbq at my house with a bunch of friends.

Sunday, about a 50 mile road bike ride, then taking my mom (who is disabled) to a Cinco De Mayo festival. Hopefully, I work in a pool workout somewhere also!

We are supposed to have great weather this weekend - in the 80s.

Saturday I am doing a 65 mile road ride with hubby and on Sunday hubby and I are joining some friends for a 20 mile mountain bike ride at Skookum/White River near Mt. Rainier.

Can't wait!

I know I should get up early and show for the local group rides but for some reason I"m chicken. This is odd cuz I"m not a shy person.
They have easy rides. I don't know what my blockage is.

Can you help?

[hibiscus09]

No -- but if you lived near me at least we could ride together. I'm chicken to show up for the rides also!! LOL I'm not usually shy either.

Whats even worse is I actually am already somewhat acquainted with a lot of these people!!


Actually what kinda makes me uncomfortable is I'm not always that keen on "hanging" with these folks--sometimes these groups are way geeky.

But I guess that's really not an excuse. I think I'm gonna try for tommorrow m orning or sunday. I'll report back!
