I may be able to make the Tuesday night ride at the Penny Road Pub. Anyone else interested?

Psimet2001 

I was just pm'ing others to see if they were going. I will most likely be in.

I'll hang at the back, get my butt kicked and then drop off when the road turns up....as usual. This week I'll have a map.

The rollers will feel like nothing after New Glarus!

what time?

Psimet2001 

6:00 at Penny Rd Pub. This is Cyclpsycho's group ride. Only one rider from their "A" group last week. Show up by 5:45. I have a route I can link to. Feel free to drop off the back whenever....so I don't have to ride alone.

i'll do my best to get there on time. i'll have to leave work a bit early, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Psimet2001 

CyLowe was implying he might want to rollout earlier than 6. I have to leave work in Aurora to get there on time so too much earlier means that I become part time.

nietsmas

well i dont really want to ride unless its with you guys and colorchange...

Well, last week there were big clouds off to the west and we cut the ride short (skipping the second 'loop'), but if the sun is out a 6 pm roll out would be okay.

Plus, it's a week later in spring, so that's like 9 more minutes of daylight, right?


Awwww.......

nietsmas

well i don't want to just be that random guy that shows up. "Hey guys! Let's ride bicycles!"

CyLowe97

Hey, that's basically what I did the first time I showed up to the Tuesday nighter.

There are usually a lot of riders, some go out earlier and others stagger out onto the roads. Psimet and I showed up and rode with a guy we have never met. No one else was there by 6, so off we went. And we got our hides handed to us. The other rider was FAST! It was humbling and fun all at the same time.

We dropped into the pub post ride and got to know a few others who had been riding. Good time.

also, the temps are supposed to be upper 40's. knickers or tights? sort of in-between temps for me...

ColorChange

OK, I'm in for sure. I'll be there a little early. Upper 40's knee warmers, lower 40's light tights for me.

If we're going to have a beer I'd better drive over so I have someplace to put my bike.

nietsmas

i'm going home now to get my bike and gear. i'm in for sure as well.

CyLowe97

Upper 40's you say? Hmmm... that's right near my cutoff point between sleeveless and short sleeved jersey.... what to do, what to do?


Okay, it's decided: Full tights, long sleeve jersey, defeet blaze wool socks, cap under helmet and wind vest. I'll be good to go with that.

Psimet2001 

Temp is at a wierd spot for me. Lower 40's = setup I wore this weekend (just look for any of the pictures of me suffering off the back of the crit on Saturday ) Upper 40's to 50's and it's knee warmers with arm warmers and vest.

Wussies!

Hey, we carpooling?

Psimet2001 

Yes...yes you are...I mean yes we are....

ColorChange

Gonna head home early and try to fix my cadence magnet situation.

nietsmas

what car are you guys driving? just park in the penny road pub parking lot?

CyLowe97

Go back to the gravel lot behind the pub. You'll see other cars with bike racks.

Psimet2001 

Driving my Impala - crap colored. Go figure.

ColorChange

LOL! That's funny.

The wife is at a meeting -- hope she makes it home in time for me to make it! Otherwise, its baseball practice with me boys.
