i pm'd him!

Sure thing! I definitely will put together a ride report. And as noted earlier, I've already told a high school friend of mine with superior fashion sense about the jeans and shorts, and she's very much looking forward to helping me shop.

Okay, I'll PM you whenever I'm headed up to my parents' for an entire weekend. Or, if you're ever up for a Sunday ride up Baldy (not this Sunday... my sister wants to ride with me this Sunday), I'd be happy to ride Baldy most any Sunday. Just give me some advanced notice via PM. Don't worry about pace. As long as you're not leaving me behind, I'm happy to climb at any pace.

Ah, so desu ka... I had to ask someone here at work what ellos no va meant...

I'm at home with no one to ask, so what does it mean???

Pico

Ellos no va = They're not going

We should be prepared for the possibility of needing lights, right? I just transfered my lights on my commuter to my Roubaix, and I found that it's so difficult to get everything set up right that if there's a chance we need lights, I intend to just ride with lights installed (sans battery pack for the front) the entire way since otherwise, I'd take way too much time installing lights if we need them.

I don't mind carrying lights all day long since without the battery pack, it's not all that heavy. But if needing lights is completely out of the question, then I might as well shed a bit of weight.

I hope we don't need light, I don't own any. I don't commute and never ride at night.

I'll be riding with a set of front and rear blinkies.......just in case I decide to take a loooong PIE break...

Not to be picky. Ellos no van, is correct. Va is a singular verb and ellos is a plural subject. Van is the plural verb. You did get your point across.

The real reason I am posting is because I mentioned the Rangers a few weeks ago when Pico and OCRoadie were talking about doing GMR. I know of people that have been ticketed for ignoring the road closed signs. Today, I was riding up there and got to the gate at the same time as a Forest Service truck. One guy got out to open the gate and as I waiting for the truck to go through, the driver waved me through. This was around noon (next time your kid has a sub, their teacher may have been out doing a 4 1/2 hour ride), and there was a road construction crew about halfway up. They waved me through as well. I guess it really depends on who you run into. I think they have been concentrating on the lugers lately.

. I never was good with the gramar part of spanglish. I know enough to get by in a business where I'm 1 of about 4 english speaking people out of 30.

LOVE your new avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll bring my Niterider fully charged and throw it in the sag car, it has a helmet mount strap, so anybody that needs it can use it. My "blinkies" are my bar end plugs, so I've always got them with me. I really don't think we're going to still be riding after 5:00pm, I hope not. It's better to be over prepared, than ride Lake Wohlford Rd in the dark.

Pie gives you heartburn

Not to be even more picky, but you could have just said: "No van" . The 'van' implies 'they' regardless of gender...however, if you wanted to be really really picky and 'they' were all ladies, you'd say 'Ellas' to be specific. 'Van' already means 'They go' (ergo, No Van means They don't go.)

Even then, if you meant "They aren't going", the correct phrase would be "No estan yendo."

/I may be wrong. Doesn't really matter...I want pie...

OC Roadie

Thanks! I'll make sure to have a slice for you and the hubby

PUH-leaze... if tommy's doesn't give me heartburn.. do ya REALLY think PIE will********************?

caligurl

caligurl

yes... it translates to: "i want pie"... doncha'all know NOTHIN'******************************????

sheesh!

Mo'Phat

"Quiero pastel" or "Quiero tarta" - I want pie.

"Quiero panocha"...naughty, for shame, I can't believe I wrote it.

caligurl

easy for you to say.. you live near julian

hmmmmm maybe i can substitute cheesecake factory.. i know.. i know.. NOT the same!

Mo'Phat

Yep, every Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving, it's MY job to bring the pie...and it MUST be Julian Apple Pie. None of that Marie Callendar's slop.

However, and I may be in the vast minority here, years ago I put a slice of cheddar cheese on my warmed up pie, and prefer it that way still. Where did that custom develop? (I've seen it before, so I know I'm no pie mutant)

jschen

Okay, I guess I'll be keeping my lights on the bike, just in case we need them. I hope not, but I'm not going to let a little darkness keep me from finishing this ride.

I want pie. I've been thinking about pie for two months now. Pie, pie, pie. All day long thinking about pie. Oh, right, and a litttle bike ride to and from the pie shop. Yum, pie.

PIE!!!

Good lesson. I'm not as good as mophat with Spanish. I can usually communicate but my wife is fluent.

caligurl

never heard of cheese ON the pie.. but my dad ALWAYS has to have a slice of cheese to eat with his apple pie! i said something about that to hubby and he looked at me like i was crazy! but the two flavors just go together (has to be the right kind of cheese.. we always had sharp) i assumed it was a northeast thing**********?

Tommy's makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Well I am young, so I don't feel any of the heartburn(not yet )
