Hey Snap -
I posted an answer in the other thread - can't be a great deal of help since I'm really a roadie, but I did point her to what I think is a good mountain bike group in the area. Thanks for looking out for folks!

Surly darlin' you made a fine executive decision based on the info at hand. No problem grrl!

Besides my roomie loved it that she had help cleaning the house, plus I got all the laundry done. Clean undies for everybody!!

Well, you can't always predict the weather. It did end up to be pretty nice this weekend, though.
We'll do it another time!

[Surlygirl]

So Karen, How are you?
Just checking in to see how you are.

[Crankin]

Jody, (and anyone else interested)

Denise and I are going to ride Saturday, leaving from my house. We are going to do a 30 or so mile loop to the Wayside Inn/Grist Mill in Sudbury; mostly back country roads, a few hills. We haven't planned the time yet, but we are going to eat at the Stow Airport Cafe afterwards (near my house). Just let me know. I live 1 mile off of 495, very easy to get to.

Ahh, Stow Airport lounge. I know it well. Hubby and I use to keep our experimental plane there. Of course that was when we were young and foolish and had no kids.
Thanks for the invite Robyn, and I'll have to let you know. I'm going to be in Harvard on Sunday for a birthday party, so I don't know if I can swing being up there two days in a row. Do you live near the Foster's vet hospital? Good friends of ours.
I did 12 miles Saturday evening with DH. Then we did 25 on Sunday with our two oldest boys so the weekend wasn't a total washout.

Hey Jody:

I'm doing fairly well. I think I passed the biggest part of the stone, now I am just passing what my DH refers to as "gravel". Lord, my babies were much easier than this!! The biggest bummer is I have not been on my bike in over 2 weeks.
First I hurt so much I didn't care...now I am antsy. Sorry you guys had to cancel your ride. I hope to be able to make a fall ride with y'all. We got rain here in Worcester all day on Saturday so I would have banged out of the ride. Since I been down I have been catching up on all my cycling magazines...man if I had a million dollars I'd be driving myself up to Terry. I just love the clothing line this year. Does anybody know how far she is from us Massgrrls?

thanks for asking,
karen

Terry is in Macedon, NY, which is just east of Rochester. A bit of a haul from eastern Massachusetts! Road trip?

I'm interested in this Saturday's ride, what time were you planning on meeting?

[Crankin]

We haven't set a start time yet. Most likely it will be around 9-10 AM. Then we can get back and eat at a reasonable hour. I will let everyone know by tomorrow PM. The weather looks good.

Jody, I don't know the Fosters, but there are 2 vet places on Rt. 111, so one must be theirs. We use a vet in Westford because we used to live closer to there, but it's still not too far away. Cats never need to go! I understand if you can't make it. By the way, the airport cafe is nothing like it used to be; it's quite gourmet type food--still very casual, but I remember the place being pretty grungy a few years ago until Nancy, the owner took it over.

I did a dumb thing today! I was putting air in my rear tire when the little valve that you attach to the pump broke off inside the pump. Of course it was on the rear tire. The tire was pretty full, but in my panic, I took the wheel off and waited for my friend to come for our ride. I decided just to ride with the tire the way it was, but it took me forever to get the wheel back on. My husband is away, so I am having a friend replace the tube for me. I feel confident about fixing the flat part, but putting the chain back on right is really hard for me. I am a mehanical dork!

Denise:

I did a mapquest and Terry is about 5 hours from me. I don't think that's too far because I spend at least 5 hours in my car shuttling my kids from one sporting event to the next every weekend, and I only have 2...how did my parents do it with 5??

The weather looks like it may be changing for Sat.!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

Wait - the forecast when I woke up this morning called for a clear day Saturday, and now it says a 30% chance of rain. Yikes! But we let a chance of rain scare us off before, and I'm determined not to do that again. This spring is driving me more than a little crazy. (OK, OK, I was a bit nuts to start with...).

Newfsmith? Anaphase? You still interested?

I'll talk with you later.

Ah for some of us it wasnt' the chance of rain Denise, it actually rained here.
