Southern California - O.C. Labor Day MONDAY Ride? + BBQ?

Since there aren't enough rides going on...

Anyone interested in a Monday morning ride in OC? Not too early... 8am or later. We're thinking of keeping it fairly mellow, as some will be recovering from the GMR ride on Saturday. Open to ride ideas. Santiago Canyon comes to mind.

Optionally, I'll throw out the idea of a post-ride Labor Day BBQ at my place. Swimming pool and jacuzzi, included. Even if you can't/don't ride, you're welcome to come hang out with bike dorks.

RIDE INFO UPDATE:

START/END:
MY PLACE IN THE CITY OF ORANGE, NEAR 55/CHAPMAN AND 22/TUSTIN. PM ME OR OTHER RIDERS FOR MY ADDRESS/CELL.
(alternatively, we could meet at the Tustin Market Place, then drive back to my place afterwords, but so far people seem okay with riding from my place)

START TIME:
ROLLING BY 9AM.

Well if you guys are in for sure, then I guess that means I am.

Not necessarily. Just make sure the neighbors don't call the cops if people are drinking and eating in your yard while you aren't home.

I'm working that Monday but depending on what time I get off I would like to partake in the food festivities...:D

I'll bring some cheap wine....

I'd have to bring my husband and kids...you ready for that? :eek:

Hope you can make it - bring the fam!

Husband, kids, in-laws, whatever! Just no pets... our Pomeranian is anti-social like that.

:mad:

I might be up for that.

Anti-social, how does he/she react to other dogs? Our Pom, the real Pico, loves company of any species. Although he goes absolutely nuts with excitement until he has been able to greet everyone.

I'm probably out. :( I think I need to be home by late morning.

Actually, it's funny, she tends to get along with animals that are SMALLER than she is.... At least that's how it was when we lived in our apt. and there were other small dogs around. In our neighborhood now, though, there aren't too many small dogs and she wants to destroy anything bigger than her. Our dog is big for a Pomeranian at 10lbs... IIRC, yours is quite a bit smaller? They might just be friends...

I have a friends birthday party to go to, sorry.

Wait... so I try to organize Labor Day weekend rides and you tell me you can't join us for lunch because you have to stay in bed. But when James organizes a Labor Day weekend ride, you'll drag your family along for lunch. What's up with that? :mad:

Sorry, I will have to skip out on that one... no work for about 4 weeks does not leave diposable income to put 30 dollars in the tank... maybe next time!

I think I might be able to make this ride. Not sure yet about the bbq! :) I'll confirm a bit later.

Cool! And c'mon, the BBQ's the best part. Fixer might bring cheap wine.

Ohhh Ohhh! Cheep Wine!

Sheesh, nobody else wants to ride on Labor Day? Come on! :D

I have a couple other friends (non-BFers) interested... if that's okay.

I'm guessing since EVERYBODY is doing GMR on Sat, many wont want to ride again so soon. At least come for the BBQ... and potential for cheap wine!

I'm definitely in for food. We'll see about the ride.

I knew it! :p
Yeah, I was kinda wiped after I rode GMR... actually it was the lifts that did me in. We can always alter Monday's route if Santiago Cyn is a bit much.

Of course!

I may very well be wiped after GMR -- also, Melissa is dragging me out for a ride on Sunday, since she's missing Saturday's ride. So I may be seriously goldbrickin' it on Monday. At least on any grade > 0.5%.

So who's bringing the PIE?

So who's bringing the PIE?
I'm probably supplying the burgers 'n' dogs... maybe some chicken if I'm not lazy (buy I am), so I'll leave the pie to someone else.

Hey Fixer, what time do you think you'd make it down, (if you are free)?

So who's bringing the PIE?

Is that a euphemism for women?

Is that a euphemism for women?yes:p

Hey Fixer, what time do you think you'd make it down, (if you are free)?

To be honest with you, I have no idea at this time. I need to check my books to see what time I closed shop last Labor Day. BTW what time were you planning on starting the BBQ?

BTW what time were you planning on starting the BBQ?
Well, that's why I'm asking... It'd be great if you can make it, and we can try and plan around your schedule to some extent. At this point, I'm guessing it would be a mid-day BBQ. If we hit the road at 9am, rode Santiago at an easy pace, we'd be back around 12 or 1pm (depending if we start/end at my house, or meet somewhere else). So depending on that, meat should be grilling by 1 or 2pm! But again, still planning and I'm flexible. Others feel free to input.

I think that my plans are changing, the birthday is Sunday now.... but who knows...

Maybe by the weekend, the person wouldn't have actually been born!

Looks like I'm definitely out for the bbq. Tara's (dd) keiki hula class was invited to perform at the Hello Kitty Boardfest (http://www.boardfest.com/) on Monday. I can't pass that up. :D

I plan to join in on the ride though - I just may have to cut out a bit early depending on what time I need to get dd ready by.

Thank you James. But please go ahead and plan your ride and BBQ according to your convinience and schedule. I'll do my best to work around your schedule so please do not delay anything you're planning on my account...:)

I guess that means I'm out too...lol. Haven't checked my email yet but had a message from Alewa yesterday.

Well if you change your mind, you know where we'll be!

Drunk after the minimum of ten drinks you'll be consuming?

I'm not going to be online too much during the weekend... so hopefully we can get this squared away today.

Are we cool with Santiago Canyon? I know this is often started at the Tustin Market Place. But, since we'll be coming back to my place, I think it would be convenient to start there. It only adds about 4-5 mi. Total mileage, last I checked, was about 42 mi.

Here's the "normal" Santiago Cyn route in red. But, if we start at my place, we can go up Chapman (or side streets) from my place, to the corner of Jamboree & Santiago Cyn, and take Santiago Cyn from west to east. After going through Santiago Cyn, and wrapping around to the Tustin Market Place, I normally cut through Tustin back to my place in Orange. This bypasses Jamboree.

9am start time?

Let me know. I'll PM my address.

Looks good. If I ride, I'll roll up to your place before 9.

What are the details? Where is the start/end points? What is the start time?

I would like to do this ride; I need to consult with my social secretary regarding the labor day schedule of events.

James....I have you cell number. Is it 715 or 714? You pm'ed me a couple weeks back with a 715 area code.

Hey sharvey,

I just updated post #1 with the ride/bbq info. I'll PM you with my address/cell. Let me know if you need any other info. Hope you can make it.

James.....I actually won't know til Monday during business hours when I'll close shop.....it'll all depend on business activity during the morning hours. We'll be able to gauge how business is going to be like after we've been open for a few hours in the morning. We may close as early as 12 noon.....:) ....who knows...... I will call you tomorrow one way or the other.
I like raw onions on my dogs & burgers.

Hmmm... I have no idea if I have any onions. :D
