Marin Ride January 6?

**kjay** · 12-30-2006, 07:32 PM

winddance, I'd be more than happy to do less than 50 with you. I am wondering if you all know one another? I haven't met any of you yet, but it would be a good opportunity to do so.

Windance, I was wondering where you've been ! Welcome back.

No worries kjay, we all hit it off really well. Some of us have known each other for some time now, and others, perhaps a couple of us have met once or twice, if that. But you know what? We all enjoy cycling and it's all good.

Ice cream during a January ride . . . o-kaaay . . . I'm thinking I'll bring apple cider to heat up for afterwards.

Is there a chicken soup stop?

Know - like biblically?

Just couldn't resist.

SK has a great giggle and can always be counted on to make you smile. An excellent ride leader - her maps actually work.

Jobob is a sandbagger extraordinaire. She says she's slow, but she's not. She knows all the great pizza places. Probably for the beer though, not the pizza.

MP has the greatest laugh and I want her hair. Now that she's been off the bike for six months, we mere mortals have slightly better than a snowball's chance in h'e'll of staying with her. Her hubby has awesome calves. Come for the calves...

Trek and winddance I have no dirt on, although I have met both. They are probably the most normal in the group.

snap has what I think of as an intelligent sense of humor, dry, slightly sardonic - I have wanted to use that word since I was a teenager. All the men in Harlequin romances had sardonic eyebrows. What does that mean? Anyway... she tells good stories.

Kim is like snap, but quieter. Although sardonic doesn't quite work for me with Kim. I know that she doesn't snore. Oh and she climbs like a demon.

I've only spent a day with Deanna. But she let me use her shower! A truly kind person.

Me - well... I'm 5'8", 120 pounds, naturally red hair, green eyes. I can maintain 20 mph for 30 - 40 miles on the flat and produce over 500 watts. I'm amazingly erudite and intelligent with a wicked sense of humor. I make great cookies.

Most of what I've said is true...

Well, I had a hankering for an ice cream during my ride today. So there.

Instead, we had ham & pineapple 'za when we got home.

And there's a Brown Cow vanilla cream-top yogurt calling to me from the fridge. Curses on the one who turned me on to those !

Probably the same person who turned me on to the coffee ones. Guess what I have for breakfast nearly every day...

Part of my "make you smile" program . . .

Nice list, V.

I'd like to come along too!

I'd be very interested in the shorter-than-50-mile option, because I am breaking in a new Brooks saddle I got for Xmas (yay - maybe my saddle woes are nearly over!), but I don't think the saddle and my bum are well enough acquainted yet for 50 miles

Which Brooks did you get? (oooh, the Brooks Cult is looming on the horizon!)

/hijack

With the amount of chocolate, candy, cookies and other "holiday food" - sugary syrup does not appeal. It doesn't help that I watched Supersize Me last night

/end of hijack

c'mon snap - it will be fun!!!

for those wanting a short(er), flatter ride, you can turn around in fairfax where the super good coffee roastery is. it is also where the all organic yummy ice cream place is. I know it will probably be too cold, but this ice cream is insanely good.

It's a Team Pro "S" - black with copper rivets - I've had 2 Spinerval workouts on it, and tomorrow I'm taking it on a 25 mile ride on the Bay Trail, with my hex wrench in hand for adjustments. I'm hopeful!

OK - end of the highjack!
