Cycle Zydeco Countdown

[kaybee]

I've been trying not to think about it it, since I can be like a little kid at Christmas when I'm looking forward to something, but even I have to acknowledge: IT'S ONLY A MONTH AWAY! I believe there are three of us here that are planning to go; is that right? We should arrange to meet up at the kickoff party and at least say hello. I met AD very briefly last year, but didn't get to spend time much talking. Anyone interested?

I'm interested, but unfortunately my flight arrives in Lafayette at 8:30. I don't see how I can make the kick-off party. How about at the start? Or in Breaux Bridge? I'm going solo, so I'm up for anything. My sister isn't going this year. I'll be on my green Bike Friday. Tulip, are you going to have your Bike Friday? KB, I can't remember what your bike was, as we only got to visit a little one day. I'm camping. What about y'all?

I'm not sure which bike I'll bring, since I'll be driving. I just had a wonderful week of riding on the Bike Friday, however, and it performed beautifully. I haven't unpacked it yet--I hope TSA didn't go in there and mess things up. My case was damaged by the airlines (the handle).

I'm not camping, but I'll be sure to look for the green BF. If I bring mine, it's white. If I bring my Luna, it's red.

I'll send y'all PMs before I leave so hopefully we can find each other. KB, I'll be at the kickoff party. Can't miss those dancing lessons!

Tulip, can you teach me the dance steps later? I hate missing the kick-off party. Last year the food was terrific--in fact, that's why I missed the dance lessons!

Okay, I have a new goal in life: Doing this ride next year. Sounds like so much fun. I'm hoping for detailed reports, menus, photos, etc.

Pam, keep an eye out for next year's registration. This year it filled up in 8 minutes by my count. Previous riders have priority, and they often return for the party, although I doubt I will since they don't change the route. I wish they would change the route from year to year for some extra spice (not the gumbo kind of spice)! My father's family is from Crowley and I've been down there alot. There's alot to see on the ride, and in the surrounding Parishes and towns.

But I'm sure looking forward to this year's ride.

Pam, Tulip is right. I'm a "repeat rider," and I was sitting at my computer with my hand on the mouse at the appointed time. I'm rider number 2, and it did indeed fill up fast. They only allowed a certain number of repeaters and then opened it the next day for the new riders. So BE READY! Here's a link.
