La-la-la! Not listening! I just figure I better take enough beer to Solvang so there's one left for me by the time I get back to the car.Originally Posted by CyclaSutra
Yeah, what they said.

Okay, okay!! Lesson learned!Don't ever let the DH dictate proper gear
In hindsight I would have done a lot differently...aside from bringing essential gear, at least I could have asked my brother to bring a tube instead of a ride!
But, at the time, I was just thinking that I didn't want to be any more trouble for anyone...bro already thinks I'm crazy enough!! 
Yellow, I thought you told me you were going to take it slow and easy??trying (in vain) to catch Yellow. :-) She hauled major booty
CyclaSutra, I'll keep my eye out for you at LRRH!!

See my other post. I had a whole lot of help since I found some big-shouldered friendly Whydahoans to get behind. Originally Posted by AuntieK

I'm sure we'll ride together before LRRH. Once the weather improves for good, I'm coming down there to ride with you & Lifesgreat and hopefully sulis.

Crossing my fingers that the weather keeps up like it is now (I should be out enjoying it, not sitting here at the computer!!)
Then we'll ride together sooner than later!

I'm sorry to hear about your mishap Auntie. Did you finish the ride? I wasn't sure? I learned that "oh-so-valuable" lesson on a Short ride when I was just going to ride a short 10 miles for lunch and got a glass flat and had no tubes and no cartridge even if I had HAD a tube. (note to self: always carry tubes and air!)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

AuntieK, each and every one of my bikes has its very own seatbag with tube, patches and levers plus a pump. I never have to "remember" these when I go on a ride.

Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. I wish I could have been there. As it turned out, I had to go on a last minute business trip last week. So while you all enjoyed beautiful weather back home, I was experiencing an east coast winter. Thanks for the wonderful reports. I am so exicted to ride. I took my bike in for a tune up- just got him back yesterday. He is all shiny and pretty and lubed in all the right places-- primed for a good ride. Originally Posted by yellow
