    ride saturday 11-4-06 good weather

    the usual: conoco, c-470 and morrison. it might be a bit chilly for a 9/10 a.m. start so let's meet up at 10:30 for a 11 take-off. the frozen bits should be melted by then. then off for a good ride and a warm bowl of soup.

    highs in the 60's. we won't see a whole bunch more of that.

    who's in?

    Oh, that'll depend on who wants to go where that morning, the clouds, wind, road reports, etc. sometimes it's nice to get in a medium ride with a snack somewhere up in the hills.

    Depends on the route, most are going to suck (sand, water runoff, etc). But there are a few of the "usual winter routes" on the southside.

    Re: ride saturday 11-4-06 good weather

    I’m in!

    We rode on Sunday (10/29) and there were a variety of road conditions (Indian Hills area). Not too bad I thought, and kinda fun… in my opinion it was worth it. Terra made sure we got a good winter-riding workout; we encountered plenty of gravel/sand, a little ice (only on the middle section of the road), and cops! No problems though. The main roads were clear.

    On Saturday (10/2 the peak-to-peak (Nederland [72]-Lyons[7]) had some gravel/sand on it but not too intimidating; it was sure windy though.

    See ya Saturday…

    Cheers.

    10:30am - yay - extra time to sleep!

    The ride last Sunday was great, there was plenty of sand, which was sorta a good thing because at least you weren't surprised by it... My leg started to get cramps from pointing out all the crap in the road...

    The water on the road, could have been ice or not... Needless to say it kept one on their toes through it...

    Ice packs, wow - those were fun... Come barreling through a turn, only to be greeted by slamming on the binders with an ice pack in the shade forcing everyone to keep the straight and narrow...

    And lets not forget the packs of deer beside the road munching on snow, looking at us like we're friggin nuts to be on bikes...

    Overall, the obstacle course on Sunday was much better than any amusement park, because in reality, we've been practicing all year for this stuff... Now we can see if we really have learned anything or not since the difficulty level has been amped up a few notches...

    I'm game!!!
