Saturday at 6:15 by the JCC just may work for me. Hope to make it!

aggarcia

I should be there 6:15. I have been sick off and on this last week. I really do miss not riding at all this week. I did buy a new saddle I would like to try out.

scattered73

I will try to join in but 6:15a for a 2nd shift worker is usually past my bedtime.

kwrides

Hi Rex, Tex, yeamac, aagarcia, scattered73 - are you in?

Anyone else?

I'll be there at 6:15, just wondering how many I should wait for.

What is JCC?

-Nate

kwrides

The Jewish Community Center. It's the big complex just west of Chimney Rock on South Braeswood. Make sense? Will you be there? Pick you up somewhere else along the route?

Tex_Arcana

I'll be there. Got the wheel off my Draft from Performance today and putting it all back together tonight. Meanwhile debating whether I should wear my olive and cream trunks with tomato red technical T or black cargo shorts with black and blue Titus Cycles jersey.

I'll try to make it on time. It will probably take about 30 minutes to ride up Fondren (conservative est.). I will be there though.

Like KWRides said, JCC is the Jewish Community Center. Your best landmark on the bayou though is the foot bridge that goes across the bayou there. That is the real meeting place. It's just easier for people familliar with the area to say JCC then say, "That foot bridge over the bayou just west of Chimney Rock".

aggarcia

Yes, I will be there in the am. I am getting ready tonight for the ride. I will have a red/white jersey with black shorts on my white/blue Trek.

FYI - There is a bench and bridge right across from the JCC. That's where we meet last time. I hope there is a bigger group. Another Tour Of East 288?

yeamac 

I'll be there for sure tomorrow morning. Personally, I'd love to go east to where the Braes Bayou path ends as I've never gone past Almeda Road.

I'll be the one wearing black cycling shorts. Probably will wear my blue and white Exxonmobil Cycling Team jersey.

Rex G

I am still tentative. I have some kind of infection dragging me down, so I have good days and bad days. The Missus thinks it might be mono; swollen lymph glands and no energy. (She has a medical degree, but is not licensed to practice in the USA; works in forensic investigation.) If I show, I will probably be on a light blue Rivendell Canti-Rom.

Tex_Arcana

Uhg, can't believe I'm up this early.

Or that I'm listening to the Detroit Metal City movie O.S.T. (pretend Japanese death metal but hey Gene Simmons was in the movie) to "get in the mood" while eating a Balance Gold bar and drinking Propel.

Nice to put faces/names with the screen names. Good to ride with you this AM.

Tex_Arcana

Lot's of fun was had by all. Good ride Y'all.

If kwrides decides to do this again you should give it a try.

scattered73

really bummed I missed it, getting up that early is usually staying up late for me. I would be down for a 7:30 or so ride if you guys want to do another.

kwrides

Good to meet you guys. Hope you had a good 4th.

Rex G

A late Friday night family dinner/get-together at IHOP, (yeah, I know; not my choice) doomed me to a mere two hours sleep at best. I set the alarm for 0430 HRS, and when it went off, there was just no way. I usually go to bed about 0630-ish, after working night shift, so my body's clock was all out of whack, even if not for the mystery bug that has been zapping my energy lately. Ironically, an evening ride on Saturday would have worked fine for me.

Glad y'all had a good ride. I will try to time my body's clock to match the next one.

aggarcia

It was a good ride with double the turn out from the first ride. Thanks Kevin for leading the ride. I agree, it was nice to put faces with names. I am also a night owl, but the 6:15 starts gets the ride done before the heat comes out. It was 81 degrees at 6 am. When will this heat end?

Sirrus Rider

I just found the thread. It would be nice to know when all you BFers do it again.

aggarcia

Kwrides - when are you going to feel up to leading this ride again?

kwrides

Not this weekend, but soon. Ping me if I forget.

cgjane

Count me in for the next one.

aggarcia

I am glad you did not say this weekend as I am also busy this weekend. FYI - Tomorrow is my first commute with the new shoes and pedals.

kwrides

Been practicing?

aggarcia

Yes, but not enough that I feel comfortable to commute with them. I decided to stay with the platforms today and will practice on Sat and Sun, then switch over with Tuesday's ride to work.

chinaman_87

Hopefully I can manage the50 miles by then. Looking forward to meeting some fellow riders
