Bring a light... Or ask me to bring a spare.

 

Either time.....6:00 requires a light. 5:00 probably not....at least I would chance it without.

Been a few weeks.....will be nice to go back.

 

Wednesday rides.

Can I be retired now?

 

Not to mention we are right around a full mooN.

 

I'm pretty sure I can make this. Let me see if I can get my cranks to spin tonight, VQ and Rwanda were rough on them.

 

Very cool... Let us know.

Uh oh. Three single speeds. We promise to be good if anyone else wants to jump on board! We won't rip your legs off...

 

Bike is working and car packed. I'll be rolling from work in Irvine at 5. I should be there by 6 ready to roll.

 

Excellent! See you out there. This just turned into my one ride opportunity for the week, so I may start from the tree farm at 5:15 or so for some extra credit.

 

Oh, really?

Let me know.

 

Sooo...you guys survived?

 

Yes.

Report to come.
