Judging by the replies we can all take a couple of trips around the block at a slow pace.
Thought I would get us thinking ahead so everyone can put on a few miles before we go out and do a 80+ mile ride. I don't have a Saturday free until April 30 or May 7, and I'm going to need to put this on my calendar before something else squeezes out those dates. That's early enough so it won't be too hot. How about we ride 100 miles? The Unofficial 2011 SW Houston Bike Forums Century (Self-supported). From Hillcroft/Braeswood, where we left from the last time, it is exactly 50 miles to West Columbia, and those south winds would push us home.
If anyone has any other ideas, let's hear it. Or post to say how the April 30/May 7 dates work for you.
