Sadiekate - this sounds like fun. Wish I could make it but my husband (terribly inconsiderate of him) is going overseas with work for a month. Exit husband exit baby sitter. Im going to be hard pressed to get many rides in this next month I fear but thats life I guess.
Hope I can make it to a ride one day and get to meet some of you inspiring girls.

Triple Loop Davis Ride - Sunday, Sept 18
To disable ads, please log-in.
Calling all the northern California members! Come introduce yourself!
Updating the news on this ride I'd originally planned to help the newbies take a next step and generally have a good time. "No drop" is the motto for the day but with 3 lengths and one little hill to choose from one and all should find some fun. I really hope we can get more local riders out that we haven't met before.
The Loops
1) Winters and back (@34 miles) and I'm guessing a pace below 14 mph - Have 1 newbie coming that I know of. I'm planning to lead.
2) To Winters around Lake Solano (@43-50 miles) and a pace of 14-15 mph or so -- Have 1 rider bumping up her distance. I think Petunia is leading but she seems to have dates mix-up issues so I'm waiting to hear.
3) To Winters and over Cantelow (maybe 56-60 miles) - Pace 15-16 mph and maybe faster. Need to confirm a leader and sweep or even if anyone is interested.
Ready to ride at 9 AM
Meet at Common Grounds Coffee House in south Davis
Post ride meal at Dos Coyotes.
Any volunteers? I'm hoping Yellow and Killer Bea are coming but Yellow is packing! Boo-hoo!
PS - This ride will also be posted at www.amiciveloci.org if you have non-TE friends who are interested.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I keep telling him "you know your job is interfering with my riding."
He said he will let the USAF know.

Pace to me means the speed we'll probably travel out on the open country roads - not the average speed from start to finish -- but this is a total guesstimate on my part. We are a friendly group and absolutely no one gets dropped.
All 3 groups will ride together through town/campus before we hit the open country so you can always change which group you want to ride with. Who knows, we may all stick together all the way to Winters before breaking apart. It was nice of the transportation planners to give us so many convenient road options.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Wow - I'd love to do a long flat ride - seems all I've been doing is riding hills lately, getting ready for the Bike Against the Odds on 10/9...
I'm signed up to do the training ride for the BAO 30-mile route this Sunday with Cindy, so I won't be able to join you - darn it!
So many rides, so little time! I hope you guys have a wonderful time! I'd really like to do the next flat ride with you all (there will be another one, won't there?)

Hello all-
you might have another newbie joining you. This sounds like a lot of fun, and I like the idea of a flatter ride for one of my first long ones. I have been doing about 20-25 mile loops near Palo Alto, but have been avoiding the BIG hills still. Is anyone else thinking about coming from the peninsula/south bay that would be interested in carpooling?

Well, we all know what that would be here in the fault zone! Originally Posted by Sadiekate

My office-mates and I are talking about getting cheap mtn bikes to keep here in our SF office - when the "big one" hits and the bridges go down, we can ride all the way around the bay to get to our homes in the East Bay!)

Fabulous! Not only is it about as flat as it gets, but there is very little traffic. Originally Posted by PABadger

Sounds good to me SadieKate! I rode this last weekend with HillSlug and she had metioned to me that I am stronger then I admit!!
So I might opt for #3. I ride here in the foothills so a nice long flat ride is what I need to break the hill routine!
See you Sunday!

I would love to ride with y'all....but 2 things going on.....
I have tickets to the Sacramento Monarch's WNBA Final's basketball game which starts at 1. So that means tailgate starting at like 11 . Melody, you know I love basketball.....
And after the game I have to go to work,
I just hate how work interferes with my personal time.....
And, yes, Melody is a much stronger rider than she says, she rides in Auburn for goodness sake....Cantelow, not a prob for her!!!!
The ride from Woodland last weekend was a nice "little" ride. The sun finally came out just before we got to Winters, thank goodness. The weather should be a little warmer this weekend though....Have fun grrls!!!!!Ride your ride.
