So what's good for tomorrow?

i have class until 2, then i should write an essay, but i'll probably put that off. so i'm free anytime after 2 for a ride. as long as one other person is down, i'll be riding. also, if not everyone can agree on a time, i'm up for an earlier ride, and then a later ride.

i think lauren said she's free until like 6. so ride from 2-4 maybe? again, if people are free around like 7-8-9-10 and want to ride i'll go out again for a bit.
oh, and congrats scott

I'm free from noon-3:30, so if we head off into the boonies again I'd have to take off early. Still down though.

woah, weird.
I don't have work until 4:30 tomorrow so I'd be up for a ride!

02-27-07, 08:56 PM
meet up at 2 somewhere relatively central to everyone, and ride around having people drop off and join up along the way again?

i might get in on that as well... i have a meeting in the afternoon but it ends at 1:30 max, would give me time... i would have to be back around 4-5 since i have more meeting crap to take care of later on.

02-27-07, 09:21 PM
Meet up at MFA again ? :-)
who says i cut my second class tomorrow to ride? i think i should. it's a dumb class anyway. well, if i do, i'll be around to ride any time after 2.
by the way hi, it's andrea. i just joined because i'm a cool kid or a loser or something, or maybe i just felt left out. mmmh.

i say do it. the more the merrier. ride from 2 until whenever (probs 4-ish) meet at MFA (??).
and face it, you really have a deep desire to be "cool" and therefore are now addicted to this forum.

I resent that! I am no college kid. I just work with them...

i think i will. i've been to this class once in the last three or four weeks because it's stupid and pisses me off and doesn't affect our grade at all. and yes, you're right gary, i do have a deep desire to be cool.
also, i've decided to go home a day later for spring break and i'm going to race on saturday and i definitely expect to get nothing short of DFL. someone needs to be that guy, and it might as well be me.

I dispute- you're not a guy!
EDIT:
That seemed funny until right after I clicked "quick reply".

Yeah, fun ride. Great riding weather, nice to get out during the daylight. Did you use gmaps peds to track the ride? I'd be interested to see the map with the altitude...I don't remember a climb the whole trip. But hey, i'm not complaining.
Tomorrow...
I only have like an hour free from 10am to 9pm...unless i ditch out on my night class. I'll check for a ride time tomorrow and I may just show up.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=736147 here's the route. i'm not exactly sure where we turned around, but i'm pretty sure it was around here. but you guys started at wentworth, so i guess tack another 3/4 of a mile at the beginning? haha.
Kilgore_Trout
02-27-07, 10:35 PM
we turned back at like bloomfield street.
oh, and how's your shoe lace, and, by extention, hip?
oh, durn, well i was close...i added like a block or two. hah.
my shoelace is fine and my hip is surprisingly not any more bruised than it was before that world class tumble i took. i don't know about you guys, but i found it way more entertaining than i should have.

02-27-07, 11:09 PM
haha. yeah, well i'm working. and when you're free on weekends, i'm cleaning up after dogs. i like that the weather's getting nice enough that all the goddamn kids in classes are willing to ditch them and keep me company on rides during my days off! :)
Kilgore_Trout
02-27-07, 11:16 PM
umm, i've managed to work this ride AROUND my classes. but yeah... like i said, if people want rides tomorrow night i'll go out riding again. also, thursday night ride - have we all agreed on a changed time? and with tomorrow: 2PM at MFA? (which is where exactly? well, i know where the MFA is, but what part of it are we meeting by?)
ps. saturday's race: likely to be 47degrees out. awesome much? i think so.
BuddyMike
02-27-07, 11:26 PM
page 100!
that 47 degrees is preceeded by a "wintry mix" on friday, but yeah, just need to sweet talk my way out of work by 5 on saturday.

I jsut saw those 2 leave (not ready yet). Is anyone still meeting up at 2?
I'm planning a ride around 9:15 or 9:30 tonight with a few friends. We're meeting in Kenmore, probably around Citizen's or Uno's(or down the street at my school). If anyone wants to come along, feel free to show up.

We'll leave from good ol' Wentworth (less). The following is a tenative route, subject to change, depending upon weather and the like. (Ignore the gmap mileage, it's actually 20.6 mi.)
