I'll be there. Sorry, had company visiting the last few days so didn't reply earlier. I'll start out riding with OMV, take a wrong turn and then join up with the 13-15 group, catch up to the 16+ group, then get a flat and finish the ride with Michelle. :)

Rebekah

Thanks Rebekah. Missed you last night

[FenderFreek]

Sorry I couldn't make it. I had planned to do the Ride of Silence event, but I left work late, got stuck in traffic, and didn't get back over there in time. Kristian had everything together and was on her way to the OMV ride and got a flat tire, so I'm fairly sure someone didn't want either one of us riding yesterday...:(

I haven't disappeared, so I'm gonna see about this Saturday's ride. I may have to bail on that one too, since I'm moving into a new apartment and they want me out of the old one by 12. We'll see.

[Zonda]

Sorry to hear about your delays and that you both missed riding. I hope you can make it Saturday. Good luck with your move!
