    Default New Year's Day Ride - 1 PM at Sylvan Island

    People have been askin'... so let's plan something. Everyplace is squishy, and today's rain won't help that, so I suspect our safest bet will be Sylvan Island for Sunday. Let's make it a date! Bikes, trails, friends. See you there!

    When: Sunday, 1-1-2012, 1:00 PM
    Where: Sylvan Island
    Why: B'cause!
    I wanna ride!

    I'm pretty sure I will be suffering from flu like symptoms.

    Amazing how fast that flu spreads this time of year.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    How is snowboarding possible? it's not even cold.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    I'm chomping at the bit to snowboard, too! In fact, my snowboard is in my living room. I think I've heard it whimp a few times because it wants to go outside... or maybe that's the dog. I know it's supposed to be 50 degrees tomorrow lending to a more condusive bike ride on Sunday than snow activity.

    Buff, that's why the ride is at 1PM. You'll be rarin' to go by afternoon! Bring Tina!
    I wanna ride!

    Heck YEA! What better way to start the new year? It is windy and chilly, but the trees will block the wind fairly well, and a couple layers and ear coverings will keep you warm. I plan to be there at 12:30.
    I wanna ride!

    Nope.

    Got there at 12:30. I made it until nearly 2 and would have kept riding but my toes were about to fall off.

    There was a BUNCH of peeps on the trail today!

    Same here. Janel and I rode for about an hour and the wind started to penetrate to my hot sweaty body! Had to leave, we were turning into a icicles.
