Hi Lenore! I lived at 20th & Locust for over a year recently before moving back to West Philly. Welcome to BF, though I'm pretty new myself.

I'm pretty sure I'll be there this Thursday, and I'm not tough to find - not too many girls out there. Look for the red/gold Cannondale. I'll be glad to stay with you if you're at all concerned about the pace.

Beth,

I think I'm gonna take you up on your offer ... this is out of Briarcrest tomorrow night ... right ? I'll be on a silver Giant - will look for you.

Thanks again,

Clay

I'll be there (barring crashing thunder and lightning). Briarcrest, 6:00 rolling. I usually ride over from home, pulling in around 5:50. I'll keep an eye out for you!

I would have loved to ride today, but unfortuneatly I had to work. Why couldn't I have been born rich, instead of good lookin. Work gets in the way of so much of my hobby time. Work to play, play to live, live to ride, and ride to live. I'm planning on going to FL. in a couple of weeks, I'm going to ride every day.

For you new posters, keep your eyes open for information about the Lancaster Covered Bridges Metric Century... A good contingent of Bikeforums riders get together for that ride. Mostly from the Road forum, but others as well.

Hiya, Grahny! How's things?

I'm going to put up another thread about our bike club's metric in April . . . look for it. Smaller in scale, cooler, less crowded, and well-supported
