Southern California - So Cal has gone "ride" crazy! - let's gather socially???

*gulp* is it HOT in here? or is it just me?

sorry just you

F.Y.I ... If any of you have kids you can certainly bring them. My daughter is 12 and they can have a Circus Cirucs Amusement Park day...My mother will gladly take them there for the day and hang around. Granted she doesn't walk around with them...so you would have to be okay with that. But she doesnt leave the hotel. And they have to check in with her every 2 hours either by cell or she designates a meeting place inside the adventure dome.

i'm confused but would love to do vegas(never been), or whatever ends up being planned locally!! i'm hearing rumors about a bbq and i'm neeever one to turn down good bbq!

Well the BBQ has moved to the 18th :) so now I can go.....but on the 17th I had planned to do the orange county wheelmans ride...are you doing that andddddddddddddddd are you doing palm springs? :p

The poll should be coming out today so we can vote on vegas, bowling, fix ur bike in the garage night or whateva.:D

Wow, how is it so many people have never been to Vegas? I go several times per year - didn't realize there are people who haven't gone at least once!

vegas is nice to drive through....quickly....

So is it safe to say youre gonna vote vegas? or are u voting for the garage cleaning pizza eatin night?:D

If we do some sort of "pizza/drink beer/repair bikes in the hottub" night, I have a folding workstand I will gladly bring with me as well as a small assortment of bike specific tools as well as general tools that I use on bikes....

I'm up for Vegas - who's doing the route slip?

:D

Okay, kids. Enough is enough (sort of). We are turning into riding monsters (yes, the season is here, and we are all in training, but balance is balance!). I, for one, will admit I'm suffering. My apartment is a war zone (Which is not like me. I mean, I can be messy, but this is environmentally hazardous!), my dating and sex life do not exist (well, in my imaginary world, they are quite robust...but let me not get off on that topic :p), my cultural life suffering, and my non-cycling friends are over it! Not good. :(

So, I'm wondering if we, as a So Cal community can foster a sense of camaraderie with other activities as well (maybe?). Perhaps we can do a ride/BBQ kind of thing, or "what happened to girl's night????", or So Cal potluck night? (not at my place...remember, war zone thing?). Something gentle that isn't about the miles, the elevation, the "we're number one" thing! I KNOW - I'm a hypocrite with all of my riding and posting and riding and posting...:rolleyes: But trust me, after Butterfield, I will need a little break!

I'm suggesting a social gathering type of thread - this one - where those who want to, can post social things and those who want to, can join. It doesn't mean ALL of us at the same time since we live in different areas. So, OC folks, post stuff and the OC folks can come as well as those who wish to drive. In turn, we "valley" folks can post and those who want to come from other regions can. But something to keep a social thread/flow going. And finally, I stick by my opinion that I wish some more of you would organize rides - under 100 miles! I'll come. I promise. As will others, I'm sure. I guess, I'm proposing a "balance" as there are so many aspects to this community that have yet to be explored. There is a time and a place for a 508 ride - and there is a time and a place for a 20 mile social ride. And there is always time for a beer/wine/coke/water/meal/whatever with your fellow BF rider and friend. :o :D

So, I'll start. AFTER the Butterfield, the first Saturday in March, girl's night? Brandy? Tiff? Tracy? Flipflops? Nygirl? Renee? Heddy? Redfetish? Girls????? LAish or OCish. Let's get the party started! Next????????

Hey,
I know this club with a slightly mental piano player, that would love to cater to "girls night out".

Howl at the Moon maybe???

After what was recently posted, it sounds like Brandy *deserves* a girls night out!!! :D

So can I go to the circus with the 12 year olds?

Howl at the Moon maybe???
YOu're so cute, Scott. ;) Sorry, I haven't gotten back to this thread yet. You know? That whole silly work thing. :p But I'll put up a poll hopefully before I go to sleep tonight to garner what the gals want to do. And I'll put up a bowling night in the valley. But as for the Bike Maintenance Party and the Bowling night in the OC, SOME OTHER MEMBER has to take the reins...hint, hint.:rolleyes: :D

So can I go to the circus with the 12 year olds?

You should join the circus, Ovolip, and then the 12 year olds can come throw peanuts at you. It might be a great way for you to meet chics. :D

So can I go to the circus with the 12 year olds?

Well Ovary man you can go to the circus but NOT with the 12 year olds...I know some 80 year old ladies that would love your company. But you'd have to pick them up from the nursing home.

Sheesh, M.E. - you complain of your dating life (or lack thereof), and you plan a GIRL'S night out? Hmmmmm . . . I think I'll step up and begin organizing a Speed-Dating event - eligible BF dudes each get 1 minute sitting across from you - winner gets a ride and dinner (hopefully, but not necessarily, in that order) with you. :p

Jschen, who hasn't weighed in yet, can come measure our hotel room bed - I mean, roomS and bedS
Oh wait, why am I wondering about the rules for the guys for the girls' night out? I'm evidently already invited. :D

Im usually just a lurker but I had to get involved in this..

why not do it in Palm Springs during the Tour De Palm Springs week end!!

That won't work for me as I'm driving down the day of (and back post ride), but great idea for the chics who are staying the night!:D

Also, I messed up and did the ladies night poll without Vegas considered. My bad. :(

Any man who can figure out how to squeeze us women on a bed all at once and keep each of us happy while doing it, is welcomed. Just be sure to bring that brain of yours and a really wide ruler. :D
