Yes, I went straight to Air's place from work.
I just figured out that I've had a 250-mile week. No wonder I'm 5 pounds lighter and have written 0 words.

Daaaaamn, it's been a while since I've been back on these forums and I'm glad to see you guys are still doing your rides. I should be jumping in on one finally, unemployed/freelancing so I have all the time in the world.

Joining in at least in spirit.
Hi, guys. Noteon, thanks for the heads up on this thread. I'll be checking in and hope for a Monday or Tuesday ride. Or with decent notice I can probably get someone to cover me or I can always call out sick. My commute seems to be my only ride these days and yeah the G.W. and the bike path are fun but I never do anything else.

Probably the GW. Does the ferry run that late? If not, you could always skitch across the GWB.
I'm in for this Friday!!!

It's a really fun ride. it takes maybe 90 mins - 2 hrs but it feels so much shorter because you're having such a good time and plus it's in the dark, so you can't see how far you've gone

I don't think I'll be there. I spent too much time pushing big gears earlier this week and need to let my knees rest before my Bear Mountain training ride on Sunday. Have fun!

Sorry to miss you, K
dang - I should have ridden to work - no rain this AM and who cares if I got wet on the way home
Lord I hate the train....but I guess it was good to give my own knees a break - new cassette has me pushing bigger gears than I should be for commuting....

Says it'll taper off by 10, pretty sure it'll be on but I'll let you know if I hear anything sooner.

Keep us updated Air. I'm sure my friends will be bugging me about whether the ride is on or not.

At this point it's on - the rain according to the forecasts should be mostly over soon and won't start up again till 4 AM.

Hahahaha - I'm reading the forecast and post above, turn around to look outside and it's a sheet of rain. Forecast FAIL! 
Actually does look like a nice dry period coming up though:

Just got confirmation - it's on rain or shine.
