Monday, December 21st. Early evening/after work. Stay tuned for the time/place, as we watch the winter weather unfold. As much as riding in snow and ice can be fun, doing it for the hell of it sounds like an invitation for injuries. So if the weather’s bad, we’ll have to do a post-Christmas or New Year’s ride.
This is a mega casual ride — not a critical mass or memorial ride by any means. Bring a Thermos! It’s just fun to get together and celebrate winter cycling. If the weather does not cooperate, perhaps we could all get some beers somewhere fun that night?
More info this weekend.
UPDATE!!!!
The forecast looks grim, with snow this weekend, which will thaw a little and refreeze Monday night (in the 20s), making for black ice and other nastiness. As much as winter riding is fun, we’d like to be uninjured and enjoy it. Personally, I’d hate for anyone to get hurt when we should be having fun. We’ll have to call it after Saturday when we know how bad it is.

Excited about this training race!
We should start a pace line as well … see how long we can all hold 30 mph together. I’ll be packing several Clif bars and Gus, ready to pound the pedals for a while. How does that sound?

Mykel, ha!
Brace yourself, Johnny, the media blitz for the nor’easter coming through this weekend is about to go into full freakout mode. The computer models say 10 inches, some meteorologists with good track records are saying the computer models are off and it’s going to be over a foot. That’ll be Saturday into Sunday… so the right side of the lanes might still be a mess into Monday night.

Also, this is because you and I were grousing elsewhere a couple of days ago about there not being enough snow around here. Our fault, obviously.

Amen, Dukie! My younger brother is all excited over the idea of a snow-in though, with Christmas movies and coffee. I’d like some white stuff this weekend, but not so much that it ruins stuff.
