Well, well, well...is that a HINT?:rolleyes::p

[roadfix]

Are we having our annual holiday party again?

[merider1]

Are we having our annual holiday party again?

Are you planning it?!!! Oh, great! Hey everybody, George is going to plan the holiday party!!!

:D:p:D

[Happytime]

Reserve your dates if you want to plan anything! :p

[roadfix]

Are you planning it?!!! Oh, great! Hey everybody, George is going to plan the holiday party!!!

:D:p:DNo, I am not a good leader/planner. :D

[efficiency]

I like the holiday colors.

[merider1]

I like the holiday colors.

Oh, well, then look at that! - Mark is volunteering to organize the holiday party everybody! Yippee! Say, "thank you, Mark! That's the spirit!"

:D:p:D

[efficiency]

Since Mary is SSOOO excited about the holiday party, I nominate her to be the organizer.

[Tiffanie]

A holiday party would definitely be fun... need to make it an annual tradition! A central location would make the most sense. :)

[jschen]

Oct 13: greater LA area dinner, details TBD
Nov 24: Pie Ride, details TBD

[Happytime]

Oct 13: greater LA area dinner, details TBD
Nov 24: Pie Ride, details TBD

Yes, dear.

[Happytime]

A holiday party would definitely be fun... need to make it an annual tradition! A central location would make the most sense. :)

Well, OC is central to both L.A. and San Diego.... Tiff? :D

[jschen]

Yes, dear.

Thank you sweetie.

[Tiffanie]

Well, OC is central to both L.A. and San Diego.... Tiff? :D

I could maybe, possibly try to figure something out. We should work on finding a day/date that works for most, first!

[merider1]

Since Mary is SSOOO excited about the holiday party, I nominate her to be the organizer.

I did it last year...the Naughty Elves Party. :rolleyes: It's someone else's turn. :D

[dddave]

what about the ms150? october 13 & 14.

[merider1]

what about the ms150? october 13 & 14.

I suspect that it hasn't been posted as no one has requested it and it isn't an event being organized by a member or an organized event that a group of members can just join on (you have to sign up well in advance and raise a minimum of $1,000). It's a wonderful charity event for which we will all cheer, sponsor (those who feel comfortable doing so) and support our fellow members doing the ride (I rode it last year and the year before and know what an amazing event and experience it is), but it hasn't been posted since it isn't considered a social type organized ride/event. I'm sure if you PM Happytime and ask her to post it (including the details and/or link to MS 150 threads), she will, as there isn't a rule against posting any event. It just hasn't been asked by any other member for her to do so, so I doubt she even realized the weekend (I'm not riding it this year, so I didn't think of it either).

[dddave]

ah.

[voltman]

what about the ms150? october 13 & 14.

I'll put it up.

[merider1]

I'll put it up.

:) (my point to ddave was for him to request via PM to Happytime like the rest of us do, but thanks, Voltman)

[cuda2k]

So now that I have my dates right that I"ll be in SoCal - who's organizing a ride for the Friday the 23rd? And who might have a 56 or 58cm bike that I can borrow. :) Not sure how much time I might be able to block off for a ride, but a 4-5 hr time period in the morning would be workable I'd guess.
