Diablo - May 8

[SadieKate]

I'm not going to be able to make it this Sunday, too much stuff going on - I might even have to go into work

What? Work over riding? I think you're caring the Puritan work ethic a bit too far.

Alright, I say Heather Farms it is then. Thom read a weather report that said showers would be coming in Sunday afternoon, so he suggested an early start to get us off the mountain before it rains. How is 9?

I'll miss you Jo - and Lee too of course.

Who else is coming? Right now I now I'm thinking Cindy and BF, Jenny and Jason, SK and Bubba, Kim (bring the Pilot!), T and me. But SK is good for bringing the hordes.

Mother's Day has thinned out the troops. I think Andrew is coming so Kim can make fun of him but I haven't heard from him yet.

Still awaiting confirmation from Yellow and hubby. We may have to take a back seat to the spring snow.

Oh I am most definitely NOT skiing, I am riding (it's still winter up there in thar mountains, not spring. OK, well maybe it's almost spring, but it sure ain't t-shirt skiing weather).

SK, send me an email and let me know what time we need to be at your place! Maybe I'll be able to get hubby to bake a cake. Yellow or white or carrot or spice?

We like this hubby! Fishes, rides and bakes! I want one! Oh yeah, I got one and he's keeper size too. When it comes to cake, I'm a carrot kinda gal but it isn't my b-day. Can I vote again in October?

We're leaving our house at 7:30 am in an attempt to be there on time and keep the clan from freezing while we get ready.

Reminder to self, be sure to check where North is on the map. It wasn't my fault!!!!!!!!

Will there be frosting? I LIKE frosting.

Will there be frosting? I LIKE frosting.

But of course. I like carrot too so I'll request that, with cream cheese frosting for youse guys and some other non-dairy alternative for me.

Kim & CindySue, you OK with carrot cake?

Hubby is the cook in the family. I do OK with spaghetti, though. And I can punch buttons on a microwave.

But SK is good for bringing the hordes.

I'm going to tell Robb you called him a horde.

Just emailed you again. Swapped out the Word doc for a JPG. Maybe that'll work.

[Veronica]

Swapped out the Word doc for a JPG. Maybe that'll work.

Our e mail at work is being wonky. I sent some stuff to other teachers from my house last night and it still hasn't arrived.

I'll blame it on Outlook. Or maybe it's because we have like 5 tech people to cover the entire district of 21 schools.

I love carrot cake, with rich creamy frosting.

Better start doing the rain dance, Yellow, it's all up to you.

Okay, I know I keep hijacking this thread, but I have to pipe in about carrot cake. The world's best carrot cake can be had at a local bakery (for all you South Bay women) called Icing on the Cake in Los Gatos. Blaine and I had it for our wedding cake and I have it every year for my birthday and we have it for our anniversary. We actually ate some on our first date. It's heavenly. If we ever all get together, I promise to bring some.

I'm in and I love carrot cake. My BF - another "Andrew" loves all dessert and will be quite tickled to be so rewarded. It will be his first time up Diablo. In fact he has not been on a road bike in many many years with the exception of two weeks ago - we rode to Danville and back to get his feet wet again. You may recall we are riding to Santa Barbara this spring (June 13...). So this will be a good test ride, as there will be plenty of hills between here and SB.

i love mushy romantic stories like that!

Kim (bring the Pilot!),

Pilot? Seriously? I ask because Andrew (my BF) flys aerobatics as a hobby. I'm sure he'd love someone to chat with over carrot cake

[aka_kim]

Pilot? Seriously?

Uh, no. It's just a nickname we've given him (which he doesn't know about). He's not supposed to ride hills, so won't be joining us.
