Now ya got me rethinking Rick.

Kooter-- These guys are alot of fun to ride with. Just ride at your own pace and catch back up at the intersections and straight sections. We stop and shoot the bull almost as much as we ride sometimes. A good bunch of guys that put up with me even.

Well I won't be around for the next 2 weekends. So I hope after that.
But I won't cry too much if they can't wait that long.
It's not like I haven't gotten in much riding already.

I've got hand warmers now, so December sounds fine to me.

I was actually joking. You wouldn't get me out of the state in December, most likely. The days are too short and the roads too frosty.

I'd be interested in another, I think. The ride this spring was fun but I was the biggest guy there on the smallest bike and posses only marginal cornering skills. I like being on the end so I don't get in anyone's way.

Who's taking point? I've seen some talk about who's NOT taking point, but nothing about who is!

We'll have to draw straws.

The lead riders will be whoever programs this into their GPS I'd guess.
