Jose,

It works for me!  Last time I was in Inverness, I rode up to the northern end of
the trail, so this time I'm very interested in riding the distance to the
southern end.

I'll be there mid-afternoon on Friday!

By Juan Ortega | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
2:52 PM EDT, March 30, 2009
FORT LAUDERDALE - Police this afternoon identified a 44-year-old Oakland Park
man as the bicyclist killed in an accident Saturday night.

Lawrence James Scholler died when he rode into the path of a car on West
Commercial Boulevard about 11:36 p.m. Saturday, police said.

Scholler was crossing Commercial near a crosswalk at Northwest 15th Avenue, when
a car, driven by Wayne Thomas, 22, of Sunrise, fatally struck him, police said.

No one has been charged. The case is under investigation.

Guys keep your eyes open and be carefull specialy out West.
Sergio

Hey all!  I attached a pix of our ride w/MS150 a few years ago.  We are an ALL
recumbent team of about 12-15.  Join us, I'd love to have the team grow w/"low
riders".  I also attached our team page.  Even if you don't join please visit. 
It's fun to see the support.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

I did post it, Jose, about 3 weeks ago.  I never did see a reminder,
but I mentioned it a couple of times as posts.  I also posted a note
early last week to say that somehow the calendar event got repeated in
April and to ignore that second event.  I was unable to figure out how
to delete the April event from the calendar, but Sergio wrote to me
that he fixed it.

I plan to lead more moderate and intermediate rides with SBW (they
have fewer ride leaders for the slower levels than SFRR does!), so
there will be more opportunities.

Shari

Jose,

Hey guys,

I've been trying to keep up with your emails though I'm having all kinds of
trouble with my AOL account right now.

Thanks to all who have replied. So are, I think we have ..... are you ready for
this? .... I think we have close to 100 riders and 60 Saturday Night Dinners.

WOW! This is TRULLY gonna be an invasion!!!

It would have been great to have a couple more riders with me on for
my moderate ride, but Bob "Mr Photographer" Emmerich came along and we
had a splendid time.  It was just me with my nephew Danny on the
tandem, Jeff, Bob, and another SBW buddy Larry.  We did about 24 miles
at a pleasant pace, through quiet neighborhoods and along a bike path
or two.  We had breakfast at First Watch, which was a big hit.

Maybe next time...
