Little Red Riding Hood-Utah

[sulis]

I'm sure those of you registered got the flier but incase it hasn't arrived yet, looks like the LRRH gang is planning a huge dinner bash at the Bowery Park in Wellsville on Friday June 1st. The dinner is free for riders. If I can find reasonably priced accomodations (hopefully free through friend of a friend of a friend) than I will be up there on Friday. Otherwise, I'll drive up early Saturday.

I got the card in the mail last week. I like the wolf picture on it

Sounds like a lot of fun and I may even to the 15 mile Friday night ride. I will have to see what the others in my travelling group want to do.

I got my postcard in the mail yesterday and plan on going to the park Friday night for packet pick up and free food. How many other TE women are going to the park friday? I would love to meet some fellow TEers. I will be traveling alone and am extremely shy so this whole trip has pushed me out of my comfort zone.

I was also hoping to get some advice on what to wear. What is the weather like there? Will it be okay to plan on wearing my short sleeve AV jersey or will it be to hot/cold? and last question does any one have the elevation profile for the hundred mile ride? Thanks, Jones

[Tater]

I'll be at the park Friday night for packet pickup and of course, the food!

Jones, last year the weather wasn't bad at all; mid 60's at the start, low 80's towards midafternoon for temps, a bit of a breeze, partly cloudy skies. Looks like this year might be a touch cooler, if not about the same temperature-wise.

I am planning on shorts and AV jersey as well.

Tater: HAVE FUN!

I wish I could be there, but I'll be watching my grandboys while my daughter and her husband have a well-earned weekend to themselves. This means, doggone it, that I'll miss one more SPIN ride too, but since I don't have any other obligations all weekend, I should have a fine time with them!

(Poor DH: Xander LOVES bike riding with him, they take their bikes and ride to the end of the block and back, and it takes almost an hour! The other day, it was as soon as DH got home from a long ride...) Hopefully, we'll have time to get out the trailer this visit!

Cool! A whole herd of AV jerseys! Last year we started so late that sleeveless and shorts were all we needed. Year before, we wore shortsleeve and used armwarmers, undershirts and knee warmers, gradually just peeling off bits and pieces.

It depends.

There I go with that word again.

Depends, depends, depends.

I'll be coming to the LRRH ride!

I will be riding up with some other ladies from Grand Junction, CO on Friday.

I will ride the 62 mile as I have not been riding a lot so far this year.

[AuntieK]

I'm not going to be able to come to LRRH after all this year.
I've got family obligations.
I'll miss you all, and wish you each a fabulous ride!

[JenLeath]

I'll be there with a couple of friends. I am slowly creeping back up the mileage chart after some ITBS issues, so we will be doing the 38. It would be nice to meet some fellow TEer's. We will be there the night before as well, might not make it for the bash though. Good Luck all.

AK, you aren't going??

I am riding the 70 mile option (advertised as a bit less, but after 65 miles, one does feel it ) and would like to know who else is going that distance?

I, too, will be at the park Friday night. Let's meet up!

Current forcast for next Saturday, right from the National Weather Service:

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 89.

Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 51.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 92.

Okie Dokie, I have gone through the posts on Little Red for Saturday and come up with this list of all team estrogen ladies who are going. Feel free to cut and paste and add the # of miles that you are signed up for, whether you will be there Friday night, and where you are coming from.

Does anyone have a plan as to how we can meet up? Wear underpants on our heads or something amazing like that so we can recognize one another?!! Perhaps style our hair with chamois butter ?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Starting to get excited.

[SadieKate]

Don't forget Miss Yellow!

Unfortunately, you're going to have to removed Jobob and TrekHawk from the list. TrekHawk's hubby had some kind of work committment come up (and she w/o computer right now) and Jobob had family affairs to deal with so she's had to scale back in a few places. Boo-hoo!

Yellow and I will probably be chauffered up from SLC by Bubba early in the morning. I'd like to get on the road a bit earlier than last year's disorganized start.

13(?). BikeDutchess -- signed up for 68 miles but actual distance will depend on the status of my daughter's hip injury (she's riding with me too -- trying to get her healthy before then)

[Flybye]

Thanks for the updates - I will keep them coming. Feel free to cut and paste this list and make changes to your name or add yourself.

If you would like to start earlier than the 8:00 (I am going off of memory here) time, let us know that as well.

I will also be hitting the road early this year, as last year was a zoo! Looks like it is going to be hotter too. Bummer.
