I am sure we could get away with a mellow Canyon ride this weekend.

Is anyone planning on riding? I would love to get out for a longer ride than my commutes... What say you?

We could meet where convenient...

Diego.

*****EDIT*****

For everyone that wants to join us at Golden or Boulder here is what is going on:

Jay and I are going to leave from the 7/11, Intersection of Washington St. and Hwy 93 in Golden, at about 9:15 AM on Sunday. We will then meet everyone else in Boulder, at the Amante Cafe up on Broadway in N Boulder; the idea is to leave the Café at about 10 AM.

Come to either of these spots and we should be good to go!

Sunday it is!

As far as roads go, HWY 7 & 36 are typically cleaner than other roads around that area. So maybe staying North and hitting those roads there would work better. I am open to any route though.

By the way, I will probably ride Sat. too, so if anyone else feels like riding then, post it up! Maybe bear creek to Deckers? Anyone got a road report around that area?

Everyone want to meet at Amante Cafe up on Broadway in N Boulder? And us southies can meet up down this way and ride up together to Boulder?

What's a good time for everyone to leave Boulder at?

We can meet at the 7/11 in N. Golden (93 with Washington St.) at like 9, leave by 9:15ish and ride on 93 together to Boulder, then leave Boulder at about 10? just a thought...

Game on!!! Diego I will meet you there, just text me if plans on your end change. Is this the same Washington that we had pizza at the other day? I take it that it's just a little further north on that same road?

Yep, just go North on Washington and you will run into Hwy 93, and the 7/11 on the NE side of the intersection. Or I would just do hwy 6 W or C470, to 93 N, to the intersection with Washington (downtown Golden and Washington st. are a mess with all the construction there).

Bitch, moan, bitch, moan.....jeesh, what, are we dating? If you want, I'll ride your new sexy bike and you can ride in back? :slappers:

I've got a tire, I just have to wait for my rear spools to come in, so I can prop it up and take off the back tire to go get it changed. I'll have to jump on the next ride.

What is with you and the flat tires? If you need a tire mounted, I have a machine. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks everybody. I've got it covered, just have to wait for the spools and then throw it on the rear stand (thanks Sash!) But I appreciate everybody willing to help out :up: Don't worry, y'all will have plenty of chances to pass me in the future months :(

And Patrick....I know, wtf? I wasn't even anywhere near Warren? I guess when you ride as supremely awesome as I do, you go through tires quicker than everybody else? :turtle:

Hope every body had a fun and safe ride today :rock:

Not a bad turn out for a ride in the middle of JANUARY.

Sort of made Ed’s Café’s day when they started with a table for 6 and ended with somewhere near 30. Anyone get a head count?

There were 5 or 6 at the first table, 3 at mine, 4 at the next, 4 at the next, 4 or 5 people sitting at the island, and then another 5 or 6 at the bar.
