Pre Cindy Dinner at Casa Orozco Roll call?

[Trek420]

bikeless in WI "Like mother like daughter?"

There's no way I am anywhere near as smart as our mutual Mom But maybe that's where I got the gene. Got the pun gene from Dad. Not as smart as him either.

"I do generally prefer Italian to Mexican, but enjoy both and can't claim any experience with what works best for me before a ride."

Just eat a balanced diet, plenty of complex carbs, avoid grease, hydrate hydrate hydrate. I avoid alchohol before a ride, but then I don't drink any way so...and limit coffee which is tough for me to do.

I have read somehere, maybe here that for women due to our vastly superior ability to process fat for energy (yeah this chocolate is fuel, yeah right) that pre-ride nutrition is not so much the mega pasta garlic bread and pancakes feast that men may need for endurance events as just eat balanced meals.

So now they tell me.

Cindysue, are we getting old? "I just wanna eat somewhere quiet" We're trying to find the restaraunts we can hear in.

At least that's what I thought I heard you say.

yep! I'm getting old and hard of hearing. I guess it would be a cop-out to also say I'm senile and fortunately I don't yet need to hold reading material away from my eyes - I think I've got about 4 years until that happens.......

Heck, I can throw reading material on the floor and I still can't see it.

The more people I see joining the "mex" contingent, the more I'm willing to say "alright already, forget the pasta!!" I just don't wanna miss the party! ~ BM

My choice is: less noise, easier parking. Thought Mexican might be nice for a change. Anybody know about noise factor there?

[ride4ur_life]

the noise factor is pretty good. nothing like fuzio's noise wise.. thats one of the reasons i suggested it.. great food, and we can get their lovely tenor to sing to us! ~~lol~~

Thought I'd get this further up on the line as I haven't heard much lately.


Hello! Anyone out there?

[Sag 4 Valentine]

Well, since you all will be having a pre-Cindy dinner on 3/24, have a drink (non-alcoholic) for me . I will not be there as I will be celebrating my birthday with my family! I will, however, be at the Cindy ride bright and early on Saturday, so I will see you there!

Aw c'mon. Bring the fambly. We'll have the strolling mariachis sing a birthday song I'm putting off my fambly birthday shindig till after the ride, but then maybe you have priorities in order.

(JK I don't know if there are strolling mariachis there)

Also just in case you do not come to the pre-ride dinner, so far the plan is for Bikeless, Melody and I to meet up at the porta-potties (how scenic! ;-) on the morning of the ride. Otherwise open to suggestion if folks want to do the ride out together.

After that you'll all pass us.

limit coffee which is tough for me to do.

I keep myself to 1 cup per day, cuz dehydration is bad for my guts, which are already difficult. But you're not alone in needing more. Found a t-shirt on the I'net: "Instant human -- just add coffee". Thought I'd get one of those for daughter's BF. He's only barely human when we see him in the kitchen mornings, and that's after daughter serves him a first cuppa in bed. After second cup he can hold a conversation, crack a joke, etc. Anyways ... want one of those t-shirts too? Could make it an extra for your b'day.

where oh where is the jersey that says .... ;-)

Got back from the Amgen TT with Spazzdog. We saw George, and Levi fly up the hill but did not get any free samples of EPO.
