I told him I'd try to make it but after I got home I asked myself again -- not the first time -- why so many retired folks feel the need to get up early to do a ride? Retired folks usually aren't on a schedule. Plus I would have to get up before 6AM and be at the trailhead around 7:15. So I decided to pass on the group ride. I slept in until 7:50 and I'll be leaving shortly for my own group or no group ride.
