    Spring 2013 relaxed C&O Canal ride

    Still getting used to both the dimensions of the new bike and the new saddle (and a sad dearth of exercise over the last several months), but once everything's broken in I should be able to keep up with y'all. Do we want to pick a Saturday or Sunday for a C&O ride & picnic?

    Well my mountain bike wheels are in storage while I have work done on my condo but I would get them out for a picnic!

    What time frame did you have in mind?

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I dunno. I'm away this weekend and need another ride or two to get over being saddle-sore, so sometime in May?

    I'm interested in joining you both if that's okay. Dates that work for me include May 4-5, May 24-25. How about a multi-day GAP ride sometime this summer?

    May 25th sounds good to me. I'll have had a chance to take the bike back in for a fitting between now and then, too.

    Do the other ladies still check in here, or should I/someone send out an e-mail to get 'em in here?

    I can't do the 25th (unless it's a late morning or early afternoon thing), but may be able to do the 26th (Sunday) - again, late a.m. or early afternoon. Would be nice to get out on the C&O and see y'all again.
