read my first line.... :) ok.... i have no idea if we can even do it.... cuz may have other obligations

I wonder if my coworkers would kill me if I took two Saturdays off in a row. Climbing with caligurl and Sir-Lanceimnot woud be a treat. Too bad they'd probably kill me. That or tie me down so that I can't go to the JTNP ride. :(

If i actually read the title i would know what day. DUH

Too close to me, too far from my riding abilities...

I can literally ride from my front door to this one. Poor timing though. :(

The Fall Classic, in Big Bear, is on the 8th, and Oak Glen is a bit more climbing than I want to take on the day before a race.

Thanks Caligurl,
It looks like I'm the only one who will do it. If that's the case I'd rather do it on Sunday - looks like Sunday is a better day for some people. Maybe Mr. Beanz can get his lazy butt up there too on Sunday ;).

BTW, I e-mailed Rick but haven't heard back from him. I guess we'll have to talk again closer to the time.

Hey, I'ma be doing my climbing during the week so I can ride flats with Gina on the weekends. I gota start doing hills so I can keep up in some of the BF'ers rides. I did Mt Baldy Rd from home to the tunnels the other day. Maybe again tomorrow! But yeah, I'm stilll lazy!:D

Cali you have a routeslip for that ride ?

Beanz, you going to SART on Sunday ?

Yup! Saturday and Sunday. I ride with Gina on the trail. From Imperial to the beach and back. We hang at the beach for a while as we usually run into several friends and shoot the breeze. We average usually about 16.9 to 17.5 depending on the wind and Gina's mood!:D

On saturday, we start at aout 9:45. Late start cause I don't get out of work till 2 am. On Sundays maybe 9-9:30 unless we are planning to meet someone. Then maybe earlier if needed.

We start from behind the In-N-Out Burger on LaPalma and Imperial.

I usually do all the pulling so I can control the pace for Gina. Have tried to ride with others doing the pulling but they usually sprint away, so I stay in front and do a nice steady pace.

Anybody in the same average rankings is welcomed to join us if they would like. We're not real fast but not real slow. I don't drop anyone if they are able to hang with the pace. Meaning I don't intentionally sprint away. If someone falls a lil behind, we slow down so they can jump back on the line. If they're too slow, then they areon their own.

But 16-17.5 usually do good with us! So even if the wimmins want to join in with Gina!C'mon down!

Sorry BF-ers,

I won't be making this ride. After the Knoxville Double one weekend, the Tour of Two Forests Double the next weekend (which became the Tour of One Desert), then right into a week of Interbike, . . . my body said "Enough!" So since Thur. evening I have been very sick and am now still very weak, but improving slowly.

Will be back on the bike as soon as possible, but right now its impossible to say how long that will be.

Best Regs,
Rick
