Ride: Lebanon Hills, Thurs 8/16 at 6:15pm & Baltimore Josh Party

[gopherhockey]

Ok, this will be the last Day/Day ride of the year starting this early. After this Thursday we are going to switch to Day/Night rides starting around 7pm or later (and most likely parking elsewhere as we will probably end our rides right at 10pm).

This is your chance to get your lights ready for Day/Night rides which will eventually evolve into Night only rides.

This will likely be the last Thursday night circle as we know it... we'll either have to convene elsewhere or move the circle back to OC for those who can stay out later.

If people want to do OC II this Thursday to mourn Baltimore Josh leaving us I would be up for one more before night rides start up... so if anyone missed and wants to get in on it post up... lets send off BJ in style!

I think some of you should read my new book...

[tedsti]

Bring on the night!!!

[crux]

Sounds like a good time. Wish I could make it.

Have been attempting to convince a few locals here to give night riding a shot. Looks like in a few more weeks I might just have a few converts.

They are a blast, especially the group newbie flogging at the end...

[kabbie_cache]

I want to do this ride, but I dont have a way to get there.

Anyone from St Paul going to this ride that has an open space on thier bike rack ?

[pinkshirt]

haha Joel you have nothing to worry about, I've been hanging out with members of the group almost everyday for the last 3 weeks, I can't tell you how lucky you are to have tripped across these people.

Come out and join us Thursday night, You are going to have a good time, gauranteed. (Just don't let me push you through the last uphill section, I almost killed someone last weekend doing that.:hit:)

If you haven't figured it out- it takes a lot more than that to kill me. You can push me anytime Josh!

But seriously, who doesn't...

[bootsiebee]

ya know... I'm actually just enjoying looking forward to this gathering! Gonna be good times - I can tell already! :metal:

[skalywags]

After last week, if I had enough mileage stored up, I'd be up there doing these rides. This group knows how to have fun! Oh, and the trail is awesome, too!

[forum116]

Thanks !!

Sounds like I won't be making it. I forgot that my companies golf outing is thursday and I won't be done till 6 or so.

[Jfederer]

Unfortunately I can't make it either, after all...I must go drink beer with my wife instead at the town hall brewery :etard: And I was looking forward to that floggin' too... Next time I promise :p

[Gravityjunkie]

I'll be there, wouldn't miss it.

[kabbie_cache]

I am still looking for a ride.

I live in St Paul but could possibly meet some where else.

[Hellbender]

Baltimore Josh is leaving....WTF???:shocked::cryin::banghead: But who is gonna catch me when I fall off that Murphy tree next time I have the gumption to try and ride it again????:shocked: And how will I find the trails anymore when I've learned just to follow the pink shirt???:cryin: And how the hell did I get so out of the loop that I'm only just now learning of this????:banghead:

Well, I was on the fence, but now that I know it might be the last ride with the man in the pink shirt, I think I'm gonna need to be there. I will be pretty late though, since I won't get off of work until 6pm and will be coming from Columbia Heights. I'll probably be ready to hit the trail at 6:30/6:45 if anyone else is running as late as I will be.:metal:

See y'all there!!! Tiffany

[Pandl]

I plan on being there. At least close to park closing at 10:00.

Travis, we might be able to work something out...

[kabbie_cache]

Thanks for the offer Paul.

Let me know when and where.

I get off work at 3:30 and can be home and ready to go by 4:00 4:15.

Send me a pm.

[Disaster on Wheels]

Josh- You are going to wear the pink shirt, right? I got mine all ready to go!

[pinkshirt]

wouldn't forget, I'm hoping for a really good ride. and even better time afterwards:banana:

[ilove2bike]

Unfortunately I work until 9 tommorow, But fortunately I don't work until 12 on friday so I will most definetley be wherever you guys are afterwards. I couldn't miss out on baltimore Josh's send off. :banana::banana:

[Wandering_Soul]

I'll be there, until a little before 8 at least:cool:

[gopherhockey]

I will most definetley be wherever you guys are afterwards. I couldn't miss out on baltimore Josh's send off.

My guess is we'll try nail down the patio at OC again - that worked out really well... and the weather should be perfect. I suspect we'll try get there around 9:45-10ish. If anyone wants to go and try hog some tables around that time we'll meet you there.

[dvo1]

I am on the injured reserve list now, stupid clipless, WTF was I thinking running those pos.:banghead:

[flutterbyes]

I'm in for the ride! :)

[bikeoutback]

What time does the second lap usually start? Work till 6pm and have to load the bike and everything yet so should make second lap hopefully.

[sdrugby9]

I am going to give it a second try to my first MORC group ride. Left the shoes behind last week.

[dave t]

I plan to be on time too but something always seems to get in the way so...

Anyone up for a 45 minute pace leaving at 6:30 with the goal of catching up for the second lap?

I usually am just late enough that I can catch the first lap if I really bust a$$ but I would wait until 6:30 if there is a mini-ride that can't make 6:15.

[Nita]

I have somehow re-injured my foolish foot and was wondering if there will be anyone riding just to ride? What I mean is slow and skipping the xx?

[Pandl]

I haven't made the xx yet. I don't know how slow is slow for you. I am sure there will be people there riding your speed...

I'll probably skip XX also, usually keeps me on pace to end the lap with the fast group then if I do that as I am not that fast. I won't be there till the second lap though.
