I just came down with a cold so it looks like a slow 34 for me. Based on the responses, the 34 will be a popular ride tomorrow.

Cool

Got off work early to day - was just to much like I nice day to not ride - I have everything fixed or the upgrades on Turtle except for the seat position. It is not the same as the old seat and I am not sure how to make so but I will keep working on it.

Got in a nice little 20 miles ride this afternoon and I feel OK about riding now. GPS

I plan on riding and will most likely do the 34 - I have not ridden until this afternoon since Dec 6th, My legs feel great right now and I am not tired but I am worried about the seat position not feeling right - it is does not give me trouble I amy attemp the 50.

More about how I feel about the changes to Turtle in my BLog.

I am going to try to make it tomorrow, and would love to do a 50-mile ride at a somewhat relaxed pace.

I'm going to be there, hopefully for the 50, but the later start may cause me to have to do the 34. Rode by Falls Lake yesterday, and even though it was in the 50s, the section I rode by was covered in ice! But tomorrow's weather should be great for riding.

Cool

Had a great ride - only did the 34 but it was what I planned - need to build some miles back in the body. Turtle preformed well the 26" rear wheel makes a lot of difference we were going about 22 and I asked Bryan what gear I was in - he said it looked like the third to the smallest - which is great I was at my cursing cadence and I had two higher gears still left - I use to ride most of the time in my highest great and still could only pedal up to 20 to 21 mph. We had a real nice starting with 14 and at least one new rider. Looking forward to better weather and riding more.
