We're riding again this Saturday, December 16, to save the bike lanes on E. Wesley Road.
Click here (http://www.atlantabike.org/Wesley_Road.html) for the details.

The weather should be gorgeous (sunny and temps in the low 70s -- probably 55 to 60 at the start of the ride) so make plans to joins us.
I plan on riding, not driving, so if anyone who lives near N. Dekalb Mall or along LaVista Road wants to ride with me (and any others I pick up along the way) post a reply or send me a PM.
The ride starts at 10:30 AM and I don't know how long it takes to ride there (~9 miles plus traffic) so I'll be leaving home around 9:15 AM.

I missed the last one (two?). What's the response been like? I saw in the email that since the first ride they've stopped construction. That's great!

My boss just told me that my presence "isn't required" but it would be nice if I could join the ride.
Should I go or should I enjoy my birthday weekend doing what I want to do???

I missed the second ride (Dec 2). I was down around the Pine Mountain area doing some Christmas shopping with the wife and looking at retirement areas. :rolleyes:

I was at the ride last Sunday (Dec 10) and we had 25 riders. I guess Sunday at 11:45 is an odd time to get riders to show up. Many are either at church or on their regular Sunday rides.

Ok, let's have a show of hands.
Who will be riding to the E. Wesley ride tomorrow?
Who will be driving to the ride?

We had ~25 riders this morning. The weather was awesome. :beer: If you weren't there you missed a good time.

A photographer from Creative Loafing (http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/index) was there taking lots of pictures. He said the pics and story would be in next week's issue. It hits the news stand on Thursday (Dec 21).

I was not able to attend due to a commitment to lead my Fruitcake Ride. I did get 75 miles of riding in, but I look forward to the next ride.

Thanks,
Tommy

Tommy and everyone else.
I don't think we'll have another ride until after the holidays but I could be wrong.
