Barring any unexpected dates with the better half, I should be in. To folder or not to folder, that is the question...

Leaving 6th Ave. and 27th (preschool) around 5:30-5:45, hitting the greenway at 26th around 6:00, should be up at the Little Red Lighthouse sometime around 7:00.

jeebus - same as last.
drafters65 - heya! We don't go that fast (12-14ish) and I'm getting over a cold so I'm not nearly 100%. We may hammer as it gets close to wherever we're going (like the last mile or so) we're not racing, just enjoying the scenery and night.

New week, new ride!
What's better for everyone - Tuesday or Wednesday? Supposed to be 10 degrees cooler on Wednesday...
Destination either Dinosaur BBQ or Nathan's out in Coney Island - haven't done that ride in awhile and by golly it's beach weather!

Dinosaur BBQ is up at 125th on the west side, right where the bike path goes on the street between 125th and 135th. Best beef brisket I've every had. Outdoor benches.
Let's call it Wednesday, mentioned to a few others and they could do Wed too.

I'd love to join you guys, but I'm currently doing the Times Up! bicycle classes on Tuesdays and I have a dinner engagement on Wednesday. Too bad, though, Dinosaur BBQ is right on my way home (to Inwood). Maybe next week?
Have fun!

Sure thing! I know that next week I can't do Tuesday so it'll probably be Wed again.
Those are great by the way - I swing by every once in a while (though either Wednesdays or Thursdays).

I'm doing an early dinner there on Wednesday with the wife and a few friends.
If we linger long enough maybe I'll get to meet some of you.
I guess you will be the ones with the bikes and
I'll be the one without my bike

Damn it. I don't think we can make it this week. Jackie just started her new job so she won't be riding in. I need to go to my tailor for a fitting after work tomorrow. That means I need to stay dressed up after work and I can't ride in either.

Going to eat is too late for me, but I'm riding with you folks. Where are you meeting and when?
I suggest meeting a Chelsea Pier restroom (23rd St) at 630-7. I will not be joining you for dinner since I have to get home in Brooklyn at a reasonable hour. But a ride to the lighthouse and drop you guys at 125th st is reasonable and I'll ride home from there.
Where is this rabble meeting? 36th and 6th avenue is a crap place to meet for me! No offense!
