Secret Text Message Ride Invite

Snow dusting!?!?

 

Chilao will be chillyeo, definitely snow dusting from the night before. Mikie has no cold weather gear the front side is better for weather. Pasadena area seems to be getting a bit more weather than the rest.

 

Hey @Mikie ! Since you and your HOoLiGaNs wanna be nighttime snuggle bunnies, you are welcome to use any of my bicycles (except Mama's Rumblefish) and/or winter gear to open up your options. My brakes are not set up moto-style, however.

I have lights too!

 

Im not going out to PCE this weekend.

depending on expected turn out and possibly poor weather……something like Monroe TT might be a solid option. Kinda central. Not overly technical. Isn’t bad if it get a little moisture.

 

If you guys do a little ride like MTT (e.g., 15 miles and 2,500'), I'm going to try and make this shindig! If I have to commence early and be done before the rest of the group, it would be fun to see whom I plow into first while barreling down the trail in full storm-trooper garb.

 

How about San Juan trail? Mild tech, good climb sweet dh.

 

A later start wouldn't be a bad idea! USA vs Netherlands world cup 7am! ⚽⚽⚽

 

Welp, now that the storm has fizzled, where is this group ride gonna take place?

 

It’s a secret. You would know how these things manifest. Check your phone.

 

@Mikie what's it gonna be. We need to know if we can make it.

 

You guys up for San Juan? It’s a favorite of mine. Due to travel time is 10:00am to get some heat on the trail work?

 

Sounds good to me. I’m in. Have not been there in quite a while.

 

Do you think the Viejo Tie is still together?

 

Professor did it 2 weeks ago. Beat up and brushy, but rideable.

 

Yeah like the last time I rode it. Are you in J?

 

I’ll be honest….SJT isn’t a favorite of mine on a Saturday morning. Just a bit too much traffic

but if that’s what the decision is…then yeah, I’ll be there.

 

Have you guys had rain? Wet San Juan has been the scene of some of my most miserable rides.

If it’s dryish, I’d be up for that.

 

nothing more than heavy drizzle.

 

You guys make me second guess myself. I don’t know what to do. That’s a 3+ hour drive for me. Grrrr. Help me ObiWan Kanobi.

 

Well if it’s one of your favs let’s do it.

 

Probably because of some of the folks I have ridden it with…

 

Surprised you recommended it, not central to you mikie. BTW where's Luis? Is there anywhere else that isn't super busy on Saturday?

 

If it's not wet, it's fine...

What time are we meeting?

 

Mikie said 10am

 

The later you leave it the better for missing the shuttle monkeys. By the afternoon you pretty much have the place to yourselves.
Groveling for permission to join, its going to require some delicate negotiation after forgetting our wedding anniversary last week

 

I hope this works for y’all. I just wanna see ya and get some tacos afterwards!

 

Tacos in Orange County? I thought everyone ate micro greens, tofu, and soy decaf lattes?

 

I definitely will not be able to make the group ride in San Juan at 10am. But you're still a chicken nugget @Mikie ! NUGGET!
