Early Morning Rides this week???

[KarenG]

Since I'm on vacation this week, I'm gonna be (or at least try to) doing a ride or two in the mornings when it's nice and cool. That being said, here's what's up this week for me:

Tuesday, 7/24: Ride from the Grocery Bag, leaving between 8:00-8:30AM. Route will be either the Easy Rider route (23.4mi-Micro route) or the Big Boys Don't Cry route (29mi).

Wednesday or Thursday, 7/25 or 7/26: Most likely similar in distance, but just ride with no particular route in mind.

Anyone that wants to join me, reply to this thread or email.

My trip got cancelled for tomorrow. I am very tempted.

I have a meeting at 5pm on Thursday so that day could be possible also.

[KarenG]

These are morning rides...thought you had to work?

[TracyW]

I was scheduled to be out of town Tuesday-Thursday and had a meeting Thursday night. Now, I have a meeting in Concord on Wednesday and a meeting in Raleigh on Thursday night and Friday morning.

My calendar became free and comp. time could be calling in the morning. I could just go to work late. Since the Thursday night meeting will last until about 7ish I could just go in late that day.

[KarenG]

ok...not a better way to use that comp time than to ride your bike:)

hmmm, got a nice gramma that wants to watch two sweet darling angels? if so, im all for morning rides.

[KarenG]

i don't have one...thought you had a gramma for the angels...

Plans for tomorrow (7/24):
-meet at Grocery Bag at Hwy42/Buffalo Rd, Clayton
-8:15am ride time
-Easy Rider route, 23.4miles
-pace, end of ride average 16-18 (hopefully closer to the higher side)

See anyone that wants to ride tomorrow morning:)

It was a great ride anyway. Wish the rest of the day went that well.

Once the sun came out strong the humidity got strong with it. Hit me pretty fast for some reason.

[KarenG]
