BikerZ's new Seven - time to ride!

[bikerz]

Hey everyone -

If all goes well, and the wrench gods smile on me, my frame and the LBS, I should be taking delivery of my new bike on this Saturday afternoon! (Just over 48 hours from now, but who's counting?)

And that means I plan to be out riding on Sunday and Monday. I was thinking my first ride could be the Alameda Creek Trail - lots of nice flat riding to get used to the feel and components, and then a little jaunt up JoBob's Nemesis Hill, just for kicks !

And then Monday maybe riding Old Tunnel Rd and Skyline, or maybe (this is how optimisitc I am about the impact this new bike will have on my cycling!) the Three Bears loop.

If it's going to be warm, my preference would be an early-ish start (yesterday's 90+ degree creep up Old Tunnel was not that fun!).

Anyone available for any of these rides?

48 hours!! oh wow! So is it painted? will there be more good pictures?

[bikerz]

It's not going to be painted - just the plain Ti tubes.

Oh you got me! I thought the link in your post was going to a picture of the bike!

Edited: silly me--they just took forever to load on my computer! Awesome!

Hey Z !

I'll be watching this space for your Monday plans. LeeBob & I return from HI Sunday evening so I'll be antsy for a ride on Monday.

bikerz and all,

Monday I will be picking up UK at SFO. I'll watch this space for a Sunday ride. I might need a low key keep the jittery nerves down easy ride myself that day.

I'm interested in Old Tunnel or the Bears on Monday.

[jobob]

Cool, a Team Darwin Award reunion.

no need to be frightened, Z ....

[bikerz]

Excellent!

The Bears on Monday looks like a possibility - but probably on the earlier side to avoid the heat... I will post more as plans solidify.

And Trek, ACT would be a nice, non-jittery ride on Sunday, wouldn't it?

(Team Darwin Award, eh? I read of your exploits with amazement! I'll just let you guys go first, and follow from a safe distance!)

Team Darwin Award, eh? I read of your exploits with amazement!

Amazement, as in "what kind of idjit would ride towards a fire?! Yes, you can always count on Team Darwin Award for thoughtful decision-making.

slowpoke snap is a big maybe for Sunday. I'm supposed to go to a barbeque, but I have no idea what time that is.

One of my buds here in CT just took delivery of her new Seven too--no catching her now.. Congrats and enjoy the inaugral ride and the many miles to come!

Hope to hook up with you Left Coast gals in June, I'll get 1st hand glance at the new ride.

oh, man, I would love to be able to join you for the ACT ride... but I have a feeling I am going to be chained to my desk all weekend.... actually have to get the dissertation done this weekend...I will post or call if I end up being REALLY productive Friday and Saturday and can make it... otherwise, have a great ride, and I can't wait to see the bike!

Snap - it would be so fun to ride with you - we'd probably be riding in the monring, so I hope it wouldn't conflict with your BBQ.

Ellen - please write lots and come ride! We'd have 2 thngs to cellebrate - my bike and your dissertation progress!

CinC - I look forward to a ride in June as well.
