I'd like to do this. Please post when you have settled on a date.
It'll be worth it to have me come. I'll bring a bike that is guaranteed to get a colorful response from Rootboy. |
ACK! :eek:
…uh oh …. |

My goal by July is to look like Rootboy and not cast a shadow at the beach! Here's my dietary secrets .... No breads or wheat, potatoes, no gluten, no dairy .. instead lean beef, chicken, fish with nuts, veggies, fruit, etc. And always have a young woman in attendance. :thumb:

Errrr, a non Yankee among a bunch of Cranky Yankees--- ;) okay as long as we don't talk baseball. :rolleyes:

I'm interested, too. What pace do you take? I ask in case my wife wants to join, too.
It's a long shot that we can get the time off, but I'd love to make it, if possible. |
I'll be keeping an eye on you all. seems like just a few weeks ago I made a round trip run from S. Dennis to the Wellfleet General Store ... I'll be out there Fri nite/Saturday to meet my NY sister for a B-Day hike. I'll try to scope out the CCRT and report on current conditions. ya know the trails near me further North are under like 20" of snow right now ...

Not a problem. Although I would like to point out it was you who brought up the Yankees.

We had already mentioned Sat Apr 26. Pastor Bob usually has to work on Sundays, for some strange reason. Also mentioned was "late paril or early May". It would be great if you could make it!
Now, Bob, surely you remember that some of us (including you, IIRC) are not Yankees. But we've managed to get along okay anyway. Well, mostly ;). And I don't recall if we ever discussed baseball. What's wrong iwth baseball anyway? The Good Book starts out "In the big inning God created the heavens and the earth..."

The good news is there is really only one place you can get lost in the middle, and the round about can be a bit confusing for simpletons like myself from the mountains. Hope you can join us. Where's photogravity been lately. This sounds like a trip right up Dallas' alley. |

I've always got a surplus of bike stuff. In fact, I have a box I've been throwing freewheels into, for you.
Right, rail trails are not likely to be fast. And in the last couple of years, I've discovered that I actually like riding on them! |
Tom, it would great if you can make it. Carol should have no trouble with the speeds, and in any case there is no need for everyone to stay bunched together. We have not generally stayed bunched up on prior rides. There are several very nice re-grouping spots, sort of required stops, like at the Chocolate Sparrow in Dennis, for example. There are no significant hills except the two bridges over Rt6, but the grade is not entirely flat either. There are a fair number of road crossings where care must be exercised, but they get further apart as you go north.
If anyone out there can make it to the Cape but can't bring a bike, I can squeeze another bike into the car. Mine are generally 58cm and adjusted for my 30" inseam. I'm willing to tweak seat height if necessary. You have your choice - high-end, middle-end, or low-end. Oh, and did I mention that they have toe clips and straps, and DT friction shifters? |

Great idea, Jim. I can do the same with rides between 52 and 57cm. And I should have lots of trade bait, including the Sharon-size Miyata 1000. April 26 seems to be the date, so I'll put in for the time off tomorrow. With all the interest from afar, this could be the best one yet! Top |
This young lass is already to kick some butts again .. from the spring CCRT ride. She's a local, watch out.

I can also bring a bike if someone needs one, mine are 52cm, steel, mostly 70's or early 80's, downtube shifters. I think I'll be riding my Holdsworth Mistral this year, built with a lot of parts from ScottRyder is a trade last fall.

So if any of you are hoarding a 24" one you might be interested in selling, let me know. :D |
Hi Pastorbob, I've got a 24" SS in the basement. Problem is, I've owned it since 71 and am kind of attached to it. It's too big for me though. You might be able to persuade me to part with it with a trade of something nice. PM me and we can probably work something out. Here it is, it is fully functionally at the moment, but if you only want the frame, that's not a problem. (my 22 " SS fits like a glove - hint hint)

otg, your Kool Lemon is almost a perfect candidate, except: :eek:
So for now, let me wait and see if I can find something more akin to the beast I started with when building Sporty. This is more of what I had in mind as my start: :p http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...kcrankside.jpg |

Go easy on yourself, Bob. Remember, we were all wearing about 14 layers of clothing that day! We all looked like biscuit people, except for rootboy who probably looks like a brake cable regardless of the weather.
