rob, sorry i couldn't hook up with you guys..it sounded like a tastylunch. the buddies i was supposed to meet up with STARTED drinking at 430am(!) and subsequently didn't hear their alarm so i ended up waiting an hour for them. i managed to get 6 people to ride but it took us about 20 minutes to get to the start line and it was about 930am by then. we weren't exactly peeling it down the highway and it was well past 1130am by the time we finished. wasn't rain in the forecast?? i think i saw a grand total of 2 fixies. great ride though!
