I will be there. I would like to ride about 14 mph, but I do not want to ride alone. If no one else is at my speed, I do not mind riding slower. Since I have not been on the Road since New Year's Day, I am not giong to kill myself by trying to keep up with the faster riders.

[Zonda]

Rick, how many miles do you want to ride?

[Perry]

I might be in, depending on the start time. I'll probably be up for 15 to 20 miles at a 13 to 14 mph average.

[MikeD]

I'm in. Not sure of the mileage or speed yet. I'm trying to recruit another guy into coming out. Is there a time anyone prefers?

[williamtash]

I wish I could come I am stuck painting a room fun fun I have put it off all week

[Zonda]

Since we need to finalize this, I'm going to set the start time at 11:00. It should be warm enough by then. Please let me know if you plan to ride. So far we have:

Me, Rick, Mike D +1(maybe), Perry (maybe)

Hi Gang,

I would like to ride. A bit rusty on biking (i wont tell you when i last rode) but would be up for a 10-15 miler. See you tomorrow.

Cheers, Liz

[RickF]

If we start at 11:00 I can go any distance. I want to be home by 3:00, so I could do the whole distance in that amount of time if there is anyone interested in doing it at 14 mph. If not, I would like to go at least 20 miles, but I will be happy with anything.

[Wyld]

I will be there. I think i will tag along with the slower group. It has been a bit and I need to ease back into it.

[Pugslyyy]

I'll see you all there... not sure I'll be up for the full distance but we'll see!

[sportingfool]

I plan on riding...probably the shorter distance this week.

[MarkS]

I should be able to make it. My mind wants to do 40 miles; we'll see what my legs have to say about it. :)

I agree it was a great day. I could not hang with the big dogs today - I ran out of gas by the half-way point, but I did complete the distance. Here is what I had:

Distance 45.5 miles
Average Speed 12.6 mph
Time 3:35

[MikeD]

My stats were the same as Pugslyyy's. It turned out to be a real nice day to be out there on the bike. I'm glad I came out to play. See you next time.
