We meet on side of shop at 7:15 or so. Group up and roll out by 7:45a.m. This ride is no drop and I set the pace being the weakest link. It's tough riding with all guys. Come on girls, lets ride. I plan to ride through the fall, but will keep everyone posted.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us this year.

I might try to make it. Sounds like a nice and easy ride. I'd need that this weekend.

Anyone else joining in? Voldemort you in again?

I'm in. I need to get in all the miles I can before the Psimet International, er, invitational:) See you there?

I'll be there. When should I roll in? 7:20ish?

They usually don't pull out until about 7:45. I'm shooting for 7:30, although I was early for somrthing one time, many years ago.

Nice ride. 25.6 Miles at 18.4 average. I needed that. Voldemort dropped me in a viscious attack. Nice. The skill level of this group is perfect for a weekly ride.

I'll most likely be back next week.

jbernaeyge - were you there? CyLowe mentioned we weren't sure of who else was there from BF.

psimet- i was not there this week.have been sick for the past few day.
i plan on being there next saturday

Voldemort dropped me in a viscious attack.

Wow, first time "Voldemort" "dropped"and "attack" have been used in a sentence together with me on the positive side. :eek:Usually it's more like "Voldemort was once again dropped by a ridiculously slow, simplistic attack" or "Voldemort was repeatedly dropped by anyone who bothered to make an attack":rolleyes: Of course, Psimet didn't mention that he subsequently left me gasping for air after he blew by me and casually pulled away. :cry: I hope to be able to do this ride regularly:D

I am thinking I might re-arrange my childcare to Saturday morning this week so I can hop on this ride again. Anyone else in this week?

Don't you have one of those backpack kid-carriers? Just strap him on and bring him with:p

See you there.

I am definitely in.

i will be there

dont forget your arm and leg warmers. 45 degrees can be a bit chilly on the bike :).

have a good one. later.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!! It's right at that crappy temp too. Too cold for mild gear, but too warm for the winter heavy gear. I'm going to end up with booties and knee warmers. ;)

anyone comeing out for this ride this weekend?

CyLowe97 mentioned he might. I REALLY want to, but my wife is working this weekend so I am busy "parenting".

Can't. Off to the Indiana dunes for one last warm day at the beach with wife and kids. I'd rather be riding.:(

Without Psimet and voldemort there to crush souls and unsuspecting roadside fauna, the pace was much more sedate than the first two times I did this ride.

:)

The Pedaler crew were all on Langster single speeds. Couple of the Chicago "Gangster" versions, couple of the London versions, and one of the NYC taxi-schemed Langsters. Cool idea from Specialized. I let them know that next time they all had to flip the flip-flop hubs and do the ride fixed. Ha.

I'm going to try to make it there tomorrow. Anyone else in?

Great minds think alike. I was logging on to ask that same question. Yes, I'm planning on it.

i find this group meet up and ride stuff interesting............ :)

aham, isn't it about time for you to organize the second annual Starved Rock ride?

As for tomorrow's Pedaler ride, I am most likely out. The second annual block hayride/marshmallow roast is tomorrow and it's at 11 am. Plus, it's the sixth anniversary for me and Mrs. CyLowe97. I wonder if she'll like the new tandem I purchased without her input? ;)

It's only like a 45 minute drive from your place. Come join us! :D;)

What tpye of tandem did you by Cylowe? A tandem is a true test of a marriage :D.
I kick my wife off after the 1st 3 miles of the ride, because I know she be a complaining stoker.
Tandem is cool , I like to try it with my son or daughter, but My 6 year old son said
to me I like to ride solo, why would I want to be behind you:rolleyes:
I can see my son attempting to drop me in about 10 years :mad:

you have a good memory.

i like to wait until the 8am temps are consistently 30, before arranging this last minute Illinois River Tour.

i CAN NOT WAIT to see the Cy and the Mrs Cy sporting the BFNIC jersey while riding a tandem and leading out said group.

later.

I was kidding. No tandem for me and the missus at this time. Maybe someday.

Damn I wanted to read about your tandem adventures too. I know I like
tandem , but I definetly buy used just to see if my kids could develope into it.
My wife no way thats like riding with a pack of tnt and a lighter in 1 hand,
just know it would fail miserably . Maybe we can start the cyclowe tandem fund.
Make up a bs storie about how your equilibium doesn't work unless your on
a tandem. Then state that your tandem was stolen.
