Someone just PM'd me, called me Sugar Muffin and told me I'd messed up my date on February 3rd. Oh, oopsie, I meant Saturday, Feb 2nd as this ride would be difficult on a Sunday. As for the Sugar Muffin, I have my new user title.

Honey, you are always welcome although now knowing your tender age, I have to behave.

No argument there. It's just some unfinished business though that needs taken care of after I DNFd it 2 years ago with the 3rd flat into the 70 mile post.

I sooooo wanna do this, but I can only be in SoCal so many times. SB II was so enjoyable, and it was my first BF ride I guess February dates would work best for me.

Selective hearing does not discount the truth. If I recall you RSVP'd for both Tour I and II this year and were MIA (i.e. sleeping in with random PYT next to you).
