    Default Road ride - Sunday, October 4, 2009 10:30 AM

    Rain rain go away! The forecast says that we will be dry on Sunday but that more rain will hit us again on Monday. Trails are too wet to ride despite Grizz' fan and hair drying efforts. Wanna meet at Celebration Belle at 10:30 AM with road bikes, head East/North on the bike path, up the hill from Hampton or Port Byron and enjoy the back country roads for a while, back down to the Ben Butterworth path and out to that bar in Albany for refueling, then back home? Post up if interested.... I just wanna ride!

    What is a "road" bike? Is this a joke? Why would someone ride a bike on a road when you can drive car?
    Ya didn't see me do it. Ya can't prove it!

    Nice! Now, hopefully the weather does what it is supposed to do for Sunday. I don't want to ride if it's crappy. Fingers crossed -- 65 and partly sunny.
    I wanna ride!

    I love beer but I hate it this morning...uhhhg. Not to be a "meow" but approx. how many miles are you riding today and what is the pace? Guess I could have my mommy (wife) pick me up if I cant keep up with you. I don't have a road bike(lost it in a poker match last night...long story). Specialized Hard Rock Sport Disc is what I roll on, is this gonna work? Could use a good mash, it has been a week since I rode last and withdrawals are setting in. Peace
