Wild Goose Chase 2009

[Zen]

My jersey arrived and it fits, unlike last year.
So..........I look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.

Am trying to get some time on the pedals so that I won't be the last one on the road.

I'll be there with you

So....
Do we have time for a TE training ride before this event?
Perhaps the Peach Tree Loop out of Riley's Lock on the 18th or 25th?

Hmm, not sure, but I need to since I've only been on my road bike one time, for 28 miles. The only day that would work for me is the 18th; I'm doing a 5K on the 19th and the next weekend Zen and I are in NYC.

Ugh. Peach Tree's a much more strenuous ride than Wild Goose How about a nice flat towpath ride?

That's specifically why I offered Peach Tree. If you do Peach Tree, the WGC will be gravy.

I haven't heard back from the waiting list for wild goose chase, so I doubt I'll be there. I've got to do a diabetes walk for a cure thingie with my niece on the 25th, but I think I could do peach tree on the 18th.

I'd be up for either a road ride or a C&O ride, but one thing to think about is that our speed differences aren't such an issue on the C&O. I hate to feel like I'm holding you back on road rides.

Exactly why I don't feel up to riding Peach Tree. I was out on the W&OD the other day and began thinking about Rosaryville, but I'm not sure I'm even up to a group ride there, yet. This winter whipped me worse than usual I almost feel like I need to ride by myself for a while to get back in shape, then start joining you all.

But I'm always up for group meals

If I were concerned with that, I wouldn't have offered (besides...I intended to ride my bike to Riley's Lock, to whup my butt before I even started!). C&O won't give me the miles I'd like, but if that's the will of the group, I'd be up for that.
