It's my MIL's birthday, so I'm not sure if we will be doing anything with her yet. So as usual you can count me as a definite maybe! :)

It will not be as cold as it was on Saturday. I am in as long as I get back from Chicago and it is not raining.

[CharleyM3]

Same route as last week?

[Zonda]

Different route each week alternated by David and Ed. David provides cue sheets in advance. Ed does not. Ed is doing the route this week, so we get the cue sheet at the ride.

[CharleyM3]

Unfortunately I forgot about a previous commitment. I can't come.
Next week.

[RickF]

I made it back from Chicago, so I am a definite.

[Dajuan]

Count me in too.

[acape]

Hi folks. I'm new to the area and looking for places to ride and people to ride with. If the ride is still on, I should be there tonight.

[RickF]

As long as it is not raining at 6:00 PM, the ride will be on. We look forward to meeting you.

[Pugslyyy]

Same here, planning on comig out. I have to scoot right after to go to a birthday cookout though, so can't hang around for a beer afterwards this week either.

[Zonda]

Looks like we dodged the rain. See you at 6:00. Acape, look forward to meeting you!
