Re: Road Bike Ride, Thurs Nite July 10th

After an exhausting weekend at the Caliente Festival, I am recovering my energies.

I expect to be strong enough this Thursday and try to ride with you.

However don't count me on the list.

I will come and try to follow, If I can, great, otherwise I'll do an U-Turn and stay on my flat regions

See you there !

Re: Road Bike Ride, Thurs Nite July 10th

Could all you "Maybe"s out there possibly update your status by say around 6:00... just so we can know whether or not to wait for you?

Hopefully work doesn't get in the way... You were supposed to get all that done last week when it rained

Come on out and enjoy the sunshine and perfect temps for a bike ride in the Swiss hills!

Unless me or my bike falls apart on the way I'll be there.

Sure... You can only avoid us so long, and then you eventually get dragged back in uncontrollably...

Next week I may have to leave it to you or someone else to lead the Thursday night ride, since we are planning to go ride in the Alps with Litespeed that day (EF Alpine Roadie Adventure - Day 2 (Sustenen-Grimsel-Furka)).
