Just bring them with you and do the family ride, it's a real deal. Ride it multiple times if you want more mileage. ;)

I've signed up to do the century if anyone is looking for a ride partner. Supposed to ride with a couple of friends but so far they've been flaky...

I signed up for the Century. They didn't have a "Slow Century" option so I'm doing the regular one at a slow pace. Hopefully, I won't need a tow rope for the hills. Bigbossman, I can hitch up to the Palo Alto's seatpost, right?

Don't ponder too long, this ride sells out every year.

Just signed up and paid for the metric. Anyone care to do a slow poke ride with me?

Oooh, cgallagh and I need to check our calendars! I love this ride and hated missing it last year. If we can do it we'll be registered by the weekend.

You can hook up with me, Rich, and Bill. We're don't go anywhere quickly, but we do get nowhere fast.

There are sizes during sign up but for more specific information, try emailing John Hess (johnfhess@comcast.net), the director.

Before, as of last year, but after is a possibility. Or both. We're such party animals. :innocent:

I rarely get this Saturday off. The shorter rides without hills are perfect for my recent riding style. If this is like previous years, carry some type of small steel "pick" for getting the mud out of your cleats after lunch. I have a small thread cutter I carry for people with Speedplays and similar cleats.
This is the only ride where someone "attempted" to yell something negative at me for fun.

I was going to do Grizzly Century the weekend before, but this seems to be more popular. I'm thinking about doing it, but have to decide if I want to get up really early, or just drive the night before.

Usually hot and windy.
Sometimes it's cool and windy.
Once in a while it's rainy and windy.
Could be smoggy and windy.

Any other good rides happening in October?

Also, bbm, I've heard you sing while riding. You do your avatar no justice sometimes. Now, if you rode with a martini glass that would be pretty cool. :)

We're official.
Now we need a head count as to how many are going to enjoy a little pre-ride food and drink with us.
But I'll start a new thread soon for that.
I love having goals. :love::rolleyes:

Pre-ride, post-ride, during-ride . . . Why limit yourself?
