Digital Gee:

So sorry to hear that! I'll put you all in my prayers!!!!

I used to live in Florida, living is used loosely as I found riding there to be a very high risk endeavor. None the less, have a safe business trip and keep us abreast of how your Dad is doing. It wasn't long ago that they celebrated their anniversary and you rode the distance.

Been there and done that with parents DG and know it can be taxing on the family.

Take care
Fred

It's hot, so I suggest riding early, say 7:00? This should be a no-drop ride, not a race!

Only downside - not possible for fthomas to drive "sag wagon" along this route, but it sounds like he does want to pick the place to eat!

OK, Christianitos It is!!! If you guys want to do a ride then set a time. Otherwise how about 6:30 just for dinner and/or drinks?

Hey Gary, I rode 82 miles today! Maybe that's serendipitous?

Warmest thoughts for your dad, Gary. Hard to keep so many threads going in your life....but most of us here at 50Plus can empathize and understand. Take Care on your trip!

If folks are contemplating an early morning ride, that would leave the whole afternoon to kill. What would everyone think about:

1) 0700 to 1000: ride
2) 1030: brunch

or

1) 0800 to 1100: ride
2) 1130: lunch

Each individual could choose to participate in one or both activities.

If I bring either the red-and-white 1959 Capo road bike, or the red-white-and-blue Schwinn mountain bike, I'll be easy to spot.

For those that want to ride I'll drive the SAG Wagon and take pic's. I am so looking forward to putting some faces to some names, avatars and **********

I'll be happy to give you all my cell, just message me and I'll reply

I think we should postpone until both Gary and ft can join us. But if you guys are still up for a ride I am game. I like the mid morning start followed by lunch if were still going. Either one is fine with me.

Had I known about that, I would have tried to join in, at least from Oceanside or Carlsbad to Solana Beach.

My wife's 84-year-old father is in hospital, it's "cruch time" at work, and I stupidly reagitated my Achilles' tendinitis by running 1.7 miles last night in the shoes that may have caused the problem in the first place, or at least exacerbated it, so a postponement looks better all the time to me.

We had a very active thread over at the road cycling forum covering that ride. Sorry you missed out.
The ladies from Team Estrogen are putting together a ride for this Sunday, the 30th, and is open to BF members as well. There's an on going thread on this ride over at the road cycling forum...

I'll obviously have to monitor the "road cycling" forum more closely.

OK, my father-in-law was released from the Veterans' Adminstration hospital last night and my own aches and pains are subsiding, so let's start thinking about another date for a get-together, such as an AM ride followed by brunch/lunch. How does Tullio Campagnolo's birthday (and mine; 26 Aug.) look?

Suggested route (comments invited):

San Diego based riders meet in north coast, such as Encinitas or Oceanside Transit Center, ride north to San Clemente (through Pendleton if permitted that particular day by that particular guard ; otherwise on the I-5 shoulder) to meet the OC-based riders. Return south for brunch/lunch in O'side or Carslbad, after which OC riders head back north.

This makes a lot of sense. I was sort of dreading the drive in the wee hours of the morning up to San Clemente to meet up with the group, not being a morning person, as it were.
