South Bay Ride on 09/23/06

[Trek420]

OK, so the plan was hatched for TE gals to invade (in a friendly way of course) the Velo Girls club ride on the 23rd.

who'll join me at Velo Girls Club Ride:
Join us on the ride that started it all -- the original Velo Girls ride! Listed as a cool ride in the April, 2003 issue of Bicycling Magazine. Three levels of rides for all abilities of riders! 30 miles, 51 miles, and 55 miles. Meet at the new Summit Bicycles in Burlingame -- 1031 California Drive.

This ride, one of my favorites includes La Canada rd, the ride up to that point from Summit has one challenging hill, the rest mostly rollers.

Many food options in Burlingame if wanted after, and a stop for cookies in the middle of the ride if needed.

I'm in!

So, Trek, which ride are you planning on having us invade? 30, 51, or 55 miles?

(Watch, she'll say 55 miles and I won't be up for it. )

[Trek420]

The 30 is usually what I do.

[bikerz]

I'd like to join the party!

[velogirl]

Well shoot! You could've picked a Saturday I could actually be there. I'm coaching our two-day clinic that weekend.

[Trek420]

Bring the clinic

Hey Melissa - been trying to PM you but you have PMs and emails turned off...

Just wanted to say thanks!! - I won't go into the details here but you can send me an email off line at cindy @ lunachix . net

[cindysue]

I can do 30 miles by then. Count me in!!! (assuming I'm still living in the bay area)......

[roguedog]

Um.. thirty miles? Not sure I can make this one.. maybe down the road a bit. Sounds fun tho!

roguedog "Um.. thirty miles? Not sure I can make this one.. maybe down the road a bit. Sounds fun tho!"

r'dog, officially there is no MeloVelo route that day, but if you do not feel up to the 30 (I think you can) we could recreate it.

You go to the meet point which is at 92 and La Canada. There's plenty of space for parking. It takes perhaps 30-45 min from ride start for the 30/50/55 mile riders to get there, you join us for the out and back for cookies which would be with the 30 mile riders and then we also go on from there. Your mileage about 15 miles most flat/rolling.

Cindysue, what's this about leaving the Bay Area I hear?

[melissam]

Cindysue,

You're very welcome. Thanks for giving me a heads up about the PM's. I had changed my email address in my TE Profile and hadn't finished verifying my account. Oops. Glad to hear you're gonna be back in the saddle by the time this ride happens! But what's this I hear about you leaving the Bay Area?!

Velogirl,

Shoot, sorry to hear you have a conflict on this date. But you know what that means -- we'll just have to stage another TE invasion!

Rogue,

If you're not up for 30 miles by then, I'd certainly be willing to do a shorter route so we can ride with you.

BikerZ,

Yay, you get to go for a ride around this part of the Bay!

Trek,

Thanks for putting this together! I'm up for cookie stops and food & libations afterwards.

[slinkedog]

What time? I didn't see a time listed. I'd love to do this one, but Jonathan starts soccer the 9th. Maybe I could miss just one game!!

[Trek420]

oops, ride starts at Summit at 10:00 am.

Thought for the day, I don't think I've met mellisam & r'dog so if they do the "make your own Mello Vello ride" how're they going to recognise us?

Options include: we wear AV gear or....

I meet them there and since I'd recognise you, bikerz, Cindysue....

then we all meet up somewhere after.

Melissa, thanks for the offer but I don't want to spoil your fun. Not even sure I'll be going. Just do what you want to do and I'll figure it out from there. Thanks VERY much for the offer.

Trek,

It's easy to recognize me.. I'm the one, the FRED as they called me in another thread, huffing and puffing about to blow over.

[Trek420]

and that would be different from us how?
