Thanks
Am anxiously awaiting monday. Can I say I have to have full weekends off due to my "lifestyle choices"? Actually it's looking pretty good but we'll see.
Wahine, you will be missed indeed. DH asked if vodka can go into smoothies. I assured him it probably could.
of course he is the person who mixed vodka with cytomax once just to see if it was good. he said it was.

Are your streets road bike w/narrow tires safe? Or do I bring my Surly with the studded tires? If my daughter wants to ride, would anyone have a bike she could use? I hate transporting bikes on the rack in the winter and if we only bring one bike it can go inside the car. She's long legged and would ride around a 54cm? She prefers a straight bar over drops.
This is shaping up to be a great day!

Mimi and I would like to get a vague head count. Who thinks they'll be coming?
The streets are road bike safe, BikerHen. Wish I had a 54 to offer, but I'm shorter than that, myself."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

I'll know on monday....
OH how the fingers and toes are crossed. It looks promising. We obsessed for at least an hour today. It's almost like playing poker...who's going to take what and who will change their mind at the last minute, etc. It wasn't quite as bad when I was junior and knew every shift would suck but now it's there just right almost at my reach. Oh the joys of shiftwork!

Bikerhen, if you're coming, this ride will DEFINITELY be accessible for bikes with skinny tires. That's what i have. And if you're worried, it's almost completely FLAT FLAT FLAT and much of it is on a bike trail.
and it's scenic too.
TEigyr, you can SO do this ride.
Then again, if this 28 degree garbage continues, I won't be riding.
brr grr brrr grrrr

Bruno, you will be missed. I'm glad you've got your wellies. You ought to teach a class on Scottishisms (not to be confused with Schottisches) it would really be fun! Originally Posted by Bruno28

Riding in 28 degrees sounds down right balmy.
I'm not too worried about the terrain, or weather. Anything is better than riding the trainer and the sub zero temps we have been enjoying. It will be great to get the road bike onto pavement even for one ride. Streets and paths here are still very much in the grip of ice and winter.
I will be coming and the daughter has decided she can ride as long as there's a stop that includes food and beverage. If it's too cold, she'll be more than happy to sit out the ride with you mimi. Preferably in a coffee house, pub or wherever it's warm. And of course count us in for the smoothie party.
We're trying to figure how to fit both bikes inside a Mazda Protage. Anyone with creative packing skills? Two bikes, luggage, dance bag and Irish Dancing dress and of course bike gear for two. Oh, and tire chains and stuff in case the pass is bad.

count me in...DGF too
Awwwww, Bruno, don't sulk; it's so unbecoming! Besides, Wahine was gracious and mature about it and we'll miss her a ton too...she also said that I could have her share of the (Drambuie or Vodka or whatever we're making) smoothies...such a sweetie!
