April 5 rides

Lee's dropping me off at the Safeway and then he's planning to toodle around on his own. I'll see if he'd like to ride with us, maybe over the bridge & into Sausalito or thereabouts.

Map? there's a map?

Okay, cue sheet, not a really a map, other than the one you did in Bikely.

Very well done, pinkbike! Congrats!

I'd called a 'level 2" (14-16 mph) preseason ride ... about 15 people came! 32 degrees at the start... I got out early for an extra dozen and then we did a very extended ride - 59 miles on the folder - and I reminded myself that I wasn't leading the ride so I could go as far as I wanted ... and along the way I found out that two of my riding buddies were going to go to a dance recital at Skateland so we all went and that was worth another dozen miles (and FPTRNT was there). Grand total 84 miles on three different bikes. (H-435)

I can understand why folders make a person want to tour the world! They're easy to ride and when the road deteriorated to gravel and mulch... no problem. Those two-inch Schwalbe Big Apples just CHOMPED it up (and I am a very serious gravel weenie).

Yea, I"m a bit tired

Way to go, PinkBike -- that's an awesome accomplishment!

Jo, don't get V lost while you're off on your permanent tomorrow.

What did I do today? I rode the Cinderella Metric with my sister-in-law Johanna. We had a blast! But I didn't see ANY TE'ers there this year.

We did have one mechanical. While pumping my tire, I removed the entire valve stem rather than merely removing the pump from the valve stem. I guess I don't know my own strength!

I just blogged the ride report at my ALC Homepage. If anyone's curious, cruise on over to the Team Mel blog: http://www.aidslifecycle.org/6752#blog

Way to go Pink!

DH and I did the 62 mile Hill Country Advocacy Center Wildflower ride in Stonewall. Started at LBJ's ranch and rode the famous Willow City Loop. Unfortunately it has been a dry winter and the wildflowers aren't really popping yet. The Willow City Loop has some long uphill grinds, I totally loved it. I am a total hill weenie but really love them. Beautiful area, great ride, good cause and spectactular weather.

I'm not bringing the GPS. So, it doesn't matter, you're in charge of making sure I don't get lost.

PS Nice job Pink!
