    I still don't have permission to ride my bike around the block, let alone kill myself in the mountains......

    Cool, I just may do this. I'm going to be helping out the South Bay walk team this spring too.

    Re: Death Ride!!

    If you really want a death ride perhaps you should consider simply bicycling on the streets of LA. Apparently some psychopath from Topanga Canyon has a revenge wish for bikers and has (several times) decided to slam on his brakes or open his car doors on the road when he sees bikers approaching.

    The cops finally apprehended him following a biker's injury and linked him to past occurrences. Crazy!

    Oh Death Ride girls.... just thought you might want a preview/review of Saturday's ride...

    ETA: I'm REALLY looking forward to this one! Should be a lot cooler than the Hamilton/Sierra Death march. And we're short a coach so I am taking Mel's group!

    okay ladies... it's less than a month away and today 6/11 is the last day to order your goodies.

    I'm okay enough shape to do two passes not five. Do I want to drive just for the two pass ride?? I would love to get goodies so I can taunt a cyclist at my office. but that's not a good enough reason to go there right?? Bad karma. So like, I really have to decide to buy the stuff and go or give away my slot for the dath ride. Also my car is bit iffy and sure would not like to be stuck so far away from home. That will be very expensive. I could swing over to San Jose area and crash at this guy's house except he is single and it just doesn't look good. He would like to have me drop in and stay at his place

    I might be able to make it up to top of Ebbets pass if i swap out to a compact double...

    what to do...

    I think you can pretty much buy all of the stuff while at the Death Ride when you pick up your packet. The only thing I want every year is the 5 pass finisher jersey. Although I hardly ever wear it. Better memento then the pin.

    staying home for fear of being stranded far from home with broken down car.

    Besides, if you do the ride, mind as well do all five and get the jersey!! then YOU REALLY CAN TAUNT OTHER CYCLISTS. I'm bad.

    And since I'm no going to do the ride, its just plain bad form to be buying the goodies. I'm not too fond of posers.
