:roflmao: I think I'm in love with you. :love:

Now, THAT's how to organize a ride. Post it and then tell those you want to have join that they ARE joining!

Yeah, yeah...I'm in. :D

Oh...oops. You meant ME as in you not, "M.E." :o:p

Oh...oops. You meant ME as in you not, "M.E." :o:p

I'm really going to have to question the ingredients in those pancakes now.

I know, huh? :o It's been one of those mornings. I forgot my vodka flask, or I'd blame it on that. Regardless, I'm in. :D

I'm a Maybe (again **sigh**)

If I don't have to work I'll be there, but I may start out hour or two earlier to try to avoid the heat, then meet up with you at the Village!

I'd start early with you. Then we can hit on all the early bird, hardcore cyclists who head up there at the crack of dawn. :D

That would give us time to set up our mantrap nets along the mountainside. I like the way you think.

I'll be freed from the shackles of base training by then, looks like I'm a go.

That would be up to me, Ronjon.

Oh... OK, you can go! Here's the keys... :D

i'll be in tampa, florida that weekend.:mad:

That would be up to me, Ronjon.

Oh... OK, you can go! Here's the keys... :D

me or m.e.? :p

Now then, who's this Dawn chick, is she hot?

I may be in, too.

I was going to tell Happytime and since you've decided to join her, you two can do a bit of attention grabbing sitting around that lodge by yourselves in lycra. That early you might be attracting mountain men and bikers though. All the hardcore cyclists I know usually go up a little later. (You know what they always want to go up early and I talk them into leaving later so I can sleep.)

Mel44 and I may be in. We're solid maybes.

I love a solid "maybe" :p

I'm in -- until someone decides to haul me off to Asia or something (the continent, not the ride organizer)...

who me or m.e?

I'll most likely be in too.

Another maybe.

Um...well...your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get up early and bring them with you. Two women will be very happy with you and you just might get a rootbeer for free. :D

I want you to be solid innies. :)

Now, THAT's how to organize a ride. Post it and then tell those you want to have join that they ARE joining!



Well, I know when I'm not wanted.

:cry:

I (as in me, but not m.e., though I have nothing against m.e., not that there is anything wrong with people who have, er, things against m.e.) am in.

Well, I know when I'm not wanted.

:cry:

We all want YOU to join, Mo'. :)

I (as in me, but not m.e., though I have nothing against m.e., not that there is anything wrong with people who have, er, things against m.e.) am in.

:rolleyes: No one has anything against me at present, I'll have you know.

I would like to join but I will be popping cherries in Oxnard at the Bing Cherry festival. You can’t be to far from home after that. Or is it the Strawberry or salsa festival? Well, I know I will be in Oxnard, CA.

No one has anything against me at present, I'll have you know.

Yeah...but you wish they did :D

Baldy Ski Lift, here I come. :D

Anyone know if there's a Bob's Big Boy around Encanto Park? :D

Yeah...but you wish they did :D

Um...who is "they?"

Anyone know if there's a Bob's Big Boy around Encanto Park? :D

I'll check to see where the closest one is but I doubt in Duarte or Altadena.

EDIT: Nearest one is Glendale. :(

Um...who is "they?"

he meant T.H.E.Y. your lost soul mate

I keep singing the thread title over and over in my head to the tune of Britney's "Hit Me Baby"...

he meant T.H.E.Y. your lost soul mate

:lol: Well find T.H.E.Y. and tell him to hurry up and get with M.E. :p

:lol: Well find T.H.E.Y. and tell him to hurry up and get with M.E. :p

T.H.E.Y. is a H.E.R. :lol:

I keep singing the thread title over and over in my head to the tune of Britney's "Hit Me Baby"...

Damn you! Now I have that stupid song in my head. Besides, there will be a "Back to Baldy, Really Just This One More Time" ride and a "Back to Baldy, Damnit I Mean It - This Really is the Last Time" ride and a...:D

T.H.E.Y is a H.E.R. :lol:

Err...um...does H.E.R. have "anything" to hold against me? :rolleyes::p

Baldy Ski Lift, here I come. :DI've been meaning to do it in the past 2 GMR rides, but always slacked off at the end. :p

Um...well...your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get up early and bring them with you. Two women will be very happy with you and you just might get a rootbeer for free. :D

Sorry, I'm racing that afternoon.

No, thanks. I'd rather give it away than accept a limp dollar bill.

Now I have that stupid song stuck in my head.

I will have to kill you all now.

Joy, shall we climb to the ski lift together? If you're game, I'll domestique for you, pacing you up, encouraging you onward, and carrying an extra bottle of water for you to use to cool yourself down.
