I can't go on Sat, I already told my boss I would work, besides it looks like it's going to be quite wet.

grandpatractor · 10-24-2008, 09:56 PM

Looks like my morning is going to be screwed now. I'm trying to get the afternoon freed up.

frostbitevinnie · 10-24-2008, 10:39 PM

Supposedly it is to be in the low 60's next weekend. I like that much better!!

**Clint** · 10-25-2008, 09:59 AM

Meetooo.

frostbitevinnie · 10-25-2008, 01:08 PM

The long range forecast has 56 and partly cloudy next Sat. Actually, it is quite nice now. Anyone up for next Sat??

grandpatractor · 10-25-2008, 06:28 PM

I'll keep next Saturday open.

grandpatractor · 10-27-2008, 09:47 PM

I may just see if I can get Thursday off and go for a ride. The weather forcast is nice for then.

tricker · 10-27-2008, 10:53 PM

not as though it means crap... but high around 50 on saturday, sunday rainy

Thundurburd · 10-27-2008, 11:57 PM

Took my bike in for storage today. Just as I left it started to snow, the icy little stuff that stung like hell on the jeans. The guys laughed at me when I showed up covered with snow/ice.

So tomorrow I'll be on hospital quality pain killers, please ignore anything I might happen to post. I hope I don't get banned.

BTW I tore my shoulder up last spring when I dumped my bike and slid into the ditch and missed the last time you guys got together. Good timing on my part, again.

Have fun and ride safe.

tricker · 10-28-2008, 12:02 AM

hopefully you get better quick mike. you always seem to come up with one hell of an excuse not to ride...

Rockhead · 10-28-2008, 01:16 AM

Too late this year to organize stuff....

What do you guys think about setting up a ride for next year, say a meeting around Debuque?

as long as its not snowing... its never too late!!!!!!

i'm sure we'll get something figured out for next year too.. by January we'll be pissed off at snow and will try to plan something out

frostbitevinnie · 10-28-2008, 06:15 PM

So are we on for this Sat. or not? I'm good to go.

Me too!!!

tricker · 10-28-2008, 08:05 PM

i'm game

frostbitevinnie · 10-28-2008, 08:21 PM

So where is a likely meeting point, time, etc... I am not too familiar with the good riding spots so maybe you guys decide. Try not to make it too far as I may be frozen by the time I arrive.

does this work maybeish? might as well freeze our asses off in the process and like it?

**Clint** · 10-29-2008, 10:12 AM

That makes for a 2-1/2 hour ride home. I'm not sure I'm up to that much in 45-degree weather. Don't let me stop you guys, though, if that's what you want to do.

How far away is that for you, Adam?

tricker · 10-29-2008, 10:41 AM

just a thought.. not trying to make it all about me here.

about 180 miles total for me round trip. don't worry about distance for me if you have something on the northside of the cities that would be a good drive..
