great to see everyone and that movie was pretty cool, but it could have been longer and showed more footage from the Tour.

Overall, it did make me want to not be such a slacker and get out there on my bike again.

Wonderful occasion. Joy, thanks so much for organizing it and dealing with us all so patiently.

ME, my wife's name is Leslie. You yourself looked terrific, BTW.

Bernie

merider1 07-08-07 11:22 PM

Thanks, Bernie! :) Leslie is lovely as well and I hardly had a profile shot of her. :(

And thank you for the reminder -

Joy, thank you, gorgeous, for organizing this and driving up! :beer:

A good movie can have a strong inspirational effect.

I wouldn't worry though, the effect will pass.

Good, I would not want to get in any more training than necessary for the Slacker Century (although I will be drinking coffee in the morning)

DaveSANYYZ 07-09-07 12:10 AM

Nice meeting everyone once again! Good movie and dinner! :D

jschen 07-09-07 12:45 AM

Thanks for organizing, Joy! It was fun. And thanks for a great training ride this morning. I have never had that much sweat drip onto my sunglasses before. :o Mark/efficiency, thanks for driving me home. It's nice to be home and going to sleep tonight in my own bed rather than having to drive down early tomorrow morning for work.

VanceMac 07-09-07 01:06 AM

We had a great time at the movie, and an even better time at dinner. It was also nice meeting a several BF'ers for the first time. More tomorrow when I'm more awake. :)

M.E. -- child bride's name is Dorothy.

Happytime 07-09-07 05:42 AM

Very cool to see everyone without helmet hair and salt-crust beards! I had a great time last night meeting so many BFers:

The South OC/SD crew who made the drive: DaveSANYYZ, efficiency (Mark), Jschen, Extort (Phil) and Nacy

To the BF regulars who introduced their lovely spouses: AquaTerror (Christy) and Bruce; VanceMac (BTW, Dorothy is awesome - your beautiful wife is doomed... doomed I say!); Bernmart (Bernie) and the lovely Leslie

The family guys who brought out the kids: JP Conrad (John) and Sonia + crew; Shprung (Shai) and Little Shprung; MkAdam68 (Mark) and his boys; Octico (John), birthday girl Kristine (Sorry you missed the flaaaaan!) + future TDFer Gabriel

The Las Vegas Estrogen Posse (Asia, Lara, and Karen) and their handsome XY representative, Travis.

Also great to see Urbanknight (Brian), Dubbayoo (Steve), Ronjon (Ron), Cassave (Steve), Jason's sister Tracy and her boyfriend (sorry, forgot his name); and ME (Mary) and Roadfix (George) who met us for dinner. Hope I didn't forget anyone!

Awesome time with awesome company! Pics later...

spingineer 07-09-07 05:53 AM

Great pics. Thanks for sharing guys. I wish I could have been there, but there is this thing called distance. Anyways, I hope to be able to meet more of you guys next time. Perhaps at Cool Breeze?

ME, you don't look like you had a cold. I hope Dave, Phil, and Joy have a good immune system :)

No worries. I'm not privy to whatever Mary spreads.

No one was privy to my spreading anything last night, that I'm aware of. But, trust me, I had a nasty cold going on. I realize that with all my picture posing, I come across as the has-been-wanna-be-amateur-white-trash-beauty-pageant-11th-runner-up contestant, but honestly, all that lip gloss reapplication last night was due to my dried out upper lip (from all the nose blowing I've been doing in the last two days). But I doubt any of you got any germs from me. :D

spingineer 07-09-07 08:09 AM

Devil eyes! Must have been a reaction to the cold ... :roflmao:

Oh, now. I'm a lova not a hata...but I no touchy the "blurry" folk (i.e. married). Really...I no touchy and that means, no photo with the married folk all touchy. The single, however, are all mine to fondle as I please. :D

efficiency 07-09-07 09:42 PM

Too lazy to caption. I'm new to this taking pictures business.
