Saturday? Bummer, I'd like to do this but I'm doing Montrose.

I can eat bagels on Saturdays! :)

:cry: I can't do next Saturday as I'm riding a century, Alan.


JustMe
 
I can. And 40 sounds like a good round number, especially if I add it to the ride over and back from the park.:)


robncircus
 
Maybe. Possibly doing Mullholand Highway that day but if it falls through I'll be there..

I can eat bagels on Saturday too! I'm a strong maybe for this. I'll ride over to the park, but then leave goldsteins and go straight home from there.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.:)

Are you going on Huntington to Longden then onto San Dimas and back on the rollers of Sierra Madre in Glendora and Encanto and back to Sierra Madre where the fat cop will pull you over for not coming to a complete stop at their stop signs? Que vida loca??

I have to cancel for this ride. I have to bake strawberry rhubarb pie for an order. You guys have fun.

Is this a business? And if so, where do we place an order like that? I love any variation of rhubarb pie! (And it's just a coincidence that Pushing Daisies is the best new this season!)

I may make it, I don't feel quite like doing Montrose tomorrow.

Yes, It's a virtual bakery. I cater desserts. I'm a french-trained pastry chef. I'm making a large pie for a buddhist center tomorrow. You're welcome to place an order anytime!:)

Bake me a PIE!

Bake me a PIE!

Since you were so nice to speak and ride with me from your posing session, I'll bake you a xmas pie. What's your favorite? And don't say I've never done anything for you.:D

This ride does sound fun...and close to my house. If I would have been free today I would have joined it...:)

That's okay, Alice. This ride will be ongoing - both the bagel and bagel with tuna. You'll have lots of opportunities to join. :)

I didn't do anything this morning, either, since ME got me sick. :mad:


Scootcore
 
likewise

You, too?

At least I rode to work this morning....

What part about my having slipped Sonia tongue did you not get? Hmm? If she's not sick, you didn't get it from me so stop blaming me! :rolleyes:

Besides, you don't hear me whining (today anyway) and at least I'm putting my pent up energy to use. I'm cleaning my place.


merider1
 
yup yesterday.....

You're sick too?


Scootcore
 
uh huh.....got back from my ride yesterday and it was downhill from there.....actually it was downhill from about 10 miles from home. good times

:( sorry to hear. I just got dizzy. I'm cleaning my kitchen and I was vacuming between the counter and fridge and when I stood up the room spun. Ahh...the rush. :p Anyway, back to cleaning. Feel better, Scoot.

Apparently, she's just a carrier and you gave it to her so it's your fault.

I did go out for a short ten miles, though, and I feel a little better, nothing like a ride to clear your head... both mentally and physically.


Scootcore
 
im afraid to get to far from the house right now.....now you know my ailment without me saying what it is outright........were cleaning as well. livin' the dream!

You know, you might want to watch it, mister. :mad: I didn't give anything to anybody and I'm not blaming anybody. Keep it up and I'll call Sonia to tell her not to feed you chicken soup. Or to feed you at all, for that matter.

Ah hah! See! Now, I don't have "those" issues. Mine is all in my chest and head. But speaking of, ewww...I really do hope you get better soon, Scoot. :o

Well, in that case I'll call her to tell her not to give you any good lovin' once you're on the mend.

Sorry I missed your ride today Alan. Flatted in route over to Alhambra, and since I was running a little late, thought I would meet up with the group at the San Rafeal over pass. Got there about 8:45 or so and waited about 15 or 20 minutes, but didn't see anyone, so took off for points east. Good to hear you guys had a good ride. Catch ya next time.:D

Bummer about the flat. Sorry we missed you. We left AP at 0840. Until next time.

Hi Il Bruto,
Sorry I missed the ride. If you want to place an order, pm me. I make a melt-in-your-mouth pate brisee shell to go with the apple tart. I can even jazz up the tart by caramelizing the apples or bruleeing (not sure that's a word) the tart. Just finished an order for a snickers cake, tried to tempt merider with it, but that woman is strong:)!

No. The woman is fat. :p Keep that away from me and don't even think of bringing any of these goodies on another bagel ride!

I don't know who this fat woman is, because I didn't see her at the grand tour lite. Don't worry I won't bring any treats on the next ride. It would be hard to transport them in my rear jersey pockets. :p :)

Don't worry I won't bring any treats on the next ride.:eek: M.E., what have you done?!?!?!:cry:
