Mountain - Plains - Denver Group Ride, 25 Feb. 2007

It looks like the weather is changing a little. If the weather is okay on Sunday...>45 F ... we'll do a Northern Metro area ride. It's a favorite of mine. Look here to see (http://www.routeslip.com/routes/22565) the route. It's around 30 miles but if we need more miles there's lots of places to increase the mileage.

Meet at the Broomfield Park-n-Ride (120th Ave and Wadsworth just off US36) at 1100. 'Kay?

I'll have to check schedules, I'll let you know later if I can be there!

Can we make it 11:16???? I'd rather not hang around a Park 'n Ride for 45 minutes! North Bound 76 is supposed to arrive at 11:16.

I don't think I am going to make this one. I have to work. If I keep taking sunday off the big cheese is going to start taking notice. I am down for the 4th though. Barring a serious hang-over. (saturday is UFC fight night)

I "may" be able to make this ride. 30 miles sounds great. I really need to get moving again.

Just promise to take it easy on the old fat guy. ;)

Not sure yet if I will be here for this one. I'm going to wait to hear more about the weather :) My skinny tires won't go too far in 2inches or more of snow.

If the temp is only in the 40's and we get snow on Friday/Saturday, we'll delay a week. I can ride in really cold weather but I don't like to for fun;)

Cold weather is fine for commutes but I like warm weather for recreational rides.
I should make it if the weather holds out and I manage to avoid whatever my son came down with. That would be a miracle.... I catch whatever he brings home from preschool 9/10 of the time.
Actually using my sick time for someone who is sick...... oh the horror!

I'm a maybe as well. Might do the RMCC ride (47mi DIA loop from Northglenn P-n-R) instead....

Speaking of RMCC, I received my RMCC membership card today! :D

I really need to start training for the Brevet series coming up this spring!

What is RMCC??

D'OH! Superdex beat me to it! lol

Thanks guys :)

Hey, anything for you, Snowy! :D

Ok, a buddy and I are doing the RMCC ride this Sunday, so I won't make this one. Sorry guys.

What ride is it that your doing??

Sunday's looking good for a ride. Not supposed to be any real amount of snow accumulation in the metro area. :) I dunno about you all, but I'm getting a ride in.

Okay all I haven't decided what I am going to do yet.

I'll either ride with one of these two groups. :)

My wife has the day off. Unless the weather really craps out or I become ill I am in for a ride.

Hey, watch out for all that snow out there! :eek: Could make things difficult!

*ducks and runs*

I'm going to stay close to home tomorrow. I'm thinking I'm going to ride up Lookout Mtn. You all have a great ride tomorrow.

Hey BM saw you riding home lastnight around 8:15pm :)

Tomorrow. 11:16, Broomfield Park-n-Ride at 120th and Wadsworth. It's pretty windy up there right now but it's supposed to calm by tomorrow afternoon.

:) :) See? I knew my lights worked! They CAN see me!

I'm gonna go look at a bike after the ride tomorrow, so y'all better look out! :p

I have to take my bike into my LBS tomorrow. Unless a miracle occurs I will not be able to make it. I trashed my right pedal and despite all my attempts I am unable to remove the dang thing. Hopefully, Golden Bear Bikes can remove it. ugh
I need to install my new eggbeater s pedals. Dang it!

Yep you were easily noticeable :)

Maybe we should just cancel this ride? Otherwise it's just the two of us, looks like? I can get plenty of miles in tomorrow, and need to go clear out to Aurora to look at this bike (AND retrieve my pump from the last guy)

Okay. We'll cancel for this week. Let's try again next week. Same place. Same time. (It's a great ride...really;) )

I'll be there. :D

I'll be there. :D

Me too.

Count me in for next week...... I hope.
Golden Bear had a blast removing my pedals. The right one was stuck to the point that they were about ready to sell me new cranks. :p A 4 foot pipe did the trick. egads

I got in 75 miles today. *groans a little* On a positive note, I retrieved my pump AND I think I found my bike. :) :) :)

Went up to NCAR today after spending too much time goofing with my shifters. But at least I wasn't alone at the top.

^Nice pictures! ...but goofy bar wrap. :p

Oh, the thought of actually climbing mountains on a bicycle! :eek:

Anyone up for a ride this Saturday? I will be riding Saturday & Sunday both. Everyone is welcome!

Correction, I will not be there. My father's 65th birthday party. Enjoy the ride.

C and I are in Moab, then I'm taking the next couple weekends off the bike to get back to skiing....

I'll be riding! Saturday with RMCC from the Mineral Springs Park 'n Ride, and Sunday with Cycommute. Busy weekend. :)
