Wild Goose Chase 2009

[Cataboo]

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.

Ok, I thought I posted this already but it seems to have gone into the ether...

Regina, you never make me feel like I'm too slow, but I feel guilty anyway. I'd be fine doing a road ride Saturday, because I need to get some miles on the road bike if I'm going to be riding it during the Goose Chase.

How many miles is it to Riley's Lock? I'll give you and your bike a ride home if you'd like.

Well, DON'T!

Cool. I think it's about 20 miles to Riley's Lock from my house. I only know the way the N2 goes, and that may not be the most direct (bike friendly) route. But, regardless, I think I may take you up on that offer!

Let's do a road ride ....pleeeease??? What time at Riley's on the 18th? Anyone else??? I may ask a friend to join us with whom I'm doing the metric WGC ride...(I'm assuming y'all are doing different routes??).

Yeah, I'm doing the 40ish route at the WGC. I think that's what I did last year.

The weather forecast shows that the overnight low on Friday night is 46, and the high Saturday 67, so we could start at any time and be comfortable. What would work out for you, since you're riding to Riley's?

And Tam, come and join us. I'll drag along behind with you.

I've been on my bike exactly three times since October and I took a lot of breaks on each ride (sometimes to fiddle with new gear, sometimes to catch my breath). If you can put up with that, then I'll do my best to keep up.
