Hi, Bill
 
I am Ana's sister Maria.  My other sister (Darryl) and I plan to join you on Sunday.  Since we are just starting out, how long is the itinerary?  Would it be best if we join you at Deering?  Let me know.
 
Thanks!  Looking forward to joining you.

Bill,
 
Thanks for organizing this ride. I will be out of town for the next 2 weekends so I'm afraid I don't get to pick on you on your next two rides.

Oh, crap.  I don't know where my head was at, but last month I signed
up to lead an Intermediate ride for SBW on July 12.  I saw the
postings, but for some reasong, it didn't register that it was the
same day.  Can I still claim "chemo-brain?" :-(

Oh, well, if anyone wants to ride with me, I'll be doing 14-16 mph for
35 miles or so through Plantation/Davie.  All the rest of you guys,
have a great time in Boca.  I recommend leaving much earlier than the
mass start to avoid the heat.

Hey EZ,
 
A number of clinical studies have shown that bodies tend to creak before they fall apart. So... Be Careful!!!!  If I were you, I'd be sure to join one of our rides sooner rather than later and definitely before you REST in PIECES :-)
 
I hope to see you SOON  in ONE restless piece :-)

Here is the video clip from the theme bike ride in WPB last 

Tuesday night; http://www.vimeo.com/5491523

 WPB Crazys

There were at least 150 bikes of the most novel and inventive

kind, at this 4 time a year event. Lots of tie-dye too, a 60s theme.

Mike and I were the only 2 bents. When I find out when the next

one is scheduled, I will post the ride.

Remember, Sunday the COCONUTS will do Slo Joe's Gables/

So. Miami scenic tour, plus the Black Point extension.

Ken oh Ken,

Shades of gray, ya know. Try posting a color photo, 

then fool with drawings.

Do you use Internet Explorer for SFRR? I tried

using Google Chrome for SFRR and it doesn't

work for posting photos, I post on SFRR using

IE. When you post, use Rich-Text Editor, it's the

best way to post photos. A problem using R-T

Editor, you won't have any spell checking if you

use color type.

It's surly all Jose's fault.

You can also post photos from other websites,

for example;

 

This trike is from our site.

skin-deep--38383 by you.

This one, I uploaded to flickr. I'm sure that there are

folks out there that can aid this discussion, maybe?

Later,

Bill

The COCONUTS will be there for a

new and splendid adventure, Dude!!

            The Word by you.

Remember that the COCONUTS haven't

ridden this loop yet. An address for the

starting location would be helpful, IF, you

have a spare second. Are there any other

details that you may have left out???

Folks,

Today's ride was pretty interesting. We had a little bit of everything: from
nice/isolated scenic roads to rough/crowded killing fields, from slow 12 MPH
hour "moments" to all out 25 MPH sprints. We had a headwind, a tailwind and most
importantly,  we had a nice group of 7 riders including Bill, the "Wizard of
Coco", The "other" Catrike Expedition "Bill" of underwater adventures SCUBA
fame, Bob (the man who inspired our Wizard to conjure up a magic wand), Mike of
Easy Racers Fame, Jim of Aluminum High Racer Fame, the INFAMOUS Sergio on his
yellow low racer monstrosity and me.

What we didn't have was bad weather (we're not counting the hot weather as
"bad"). There were NO mechanicals like flat tires, broken chains and thankfully,
we survived the KILLING FIELDS without any significant "incidents".

This time, the route was so twisted and convoluted; I had an easy time keeping
the group together. Heck, if they didn't stick with me, they'd still be out
there riding in a hopeless effort to find their way home. So I guess this group
is not as dysfunctional as I expected since we did manage to get back together
after all.

The ride's statistics include: 38.5 hot miles, 13 MPH moving average (meaning
that for the most part we were doing 14-15 MPH), a handful of all out sprints,
one rest stop, 150 regroup stops and one missed lunch stop. Based on this, I'd
say the Giro de Miramar was quite successful.
