We'd like to hold certain unnamed members of our group in the Ring of Honor this
week for their courageous ride to The Mountain last Weds. despite cold, wind and
threat of rain.  I can't name them, unfortunately, because I missed the start
while sending an email.  Help!  Wheels out front.  Who are you?

For the rest of us, tomorrow offers another chance to prove our mettle.

Leaving East Decatur Station at 11 AM SHARP, 34 mi, 17 mph ave., friendly but be
prepared to keep up!

We have the answer to our question:  Julie, Barry, Bryan and Jerry entered the
Ring of Honor last week, riding fearlessly into the face of cold, wind and
threatened rain.  Thanks for keeping our Pony Express motto alive!

Trying to see if there is any interest in the airport ride this Sunday. It looks
to be the much nicer of our weekend days. If I hear back from anyone, we will be
leaving from Aurora at 9:30. Let me know. If I don't hear from anyone I will be
heading straight there.

All:

It looks to be a sweet weekend for riding.

Any Saturday riders from Aurora out there?
Maybe a 9 a.m. start?
How's about Sunday? Same time as above or 8 a.m.?

I was hoping for, maybe, both days of around 40-ish miles.

Post to the list if you have designs on such, so all will come out.

Ride safe,
Barry

I would by happy to ride at 9 am on Saturday.  There is the option of "baby"
Tudker ride.  However that is a much earlier committment.

I'm recovering nicely from being hit by a Porsche while riding my Felt bike last
October. I have a new Scott CR-1 rig and am itching to ride. Where is Aurora
(I'm relatively new to town)?

All:

While it is a bit late, I would like to clarify (a.k.a. command from above)
about the riding from Aurora this weekend.

There will be a 9 a.m. Saturday ride of the usual Va-Hi Velo length of 40-ish
miles. I will come with a suggested route, but as tradition dictates, my route
idea is quite subject to change. (Return time: after noon)

Also, given what folks have said, it sounds like an airport-ride meet-up at 9:30
Sunday at Aurora will be most popular.

The breakdown:
-- Saturday: 9 a.m. and 40-ish miles (my suggestion: Stone Mountain and back)
-- Sunday: 9:30 meet-up for the trip to the start of the airport ride.

The Saturday ride is the usual, friendly romp where we do not drop anyone, and
the route is truly determined on site.
The Sunday ride and route are determined by the airport-ride pace-setters, which
is (shall we say) brisk. This ride *is* fun, but there will be upwards of 200
people riding and the trip back to town includes a part where I get dropped . .
. way dropped.

Other suggestions are, of course, all good.

Ride safe,
Barry

Take a deep breath and enjoy the best of Atlanta.  60 degrees, sunshine, smooth
roads, mean hills, majestic Stone Mountain.  The deep breath might help you hang
onto Bryan's wheel, too.

See you tomorrow?

Leaving East Decatur Station, 11 AM SHARP, 34 mi., 17 mph ave., friendly but be
prepared to keep up.

The bike has finally been fixed after the Hillarious ride in November claimed my
derailleur, cluster and rear wheel.  My thighs healed much faster.  (Though not
as fast as they used to.)

I don't care where we go.  I don't care how far.  I just want to ride on Sunday
morning like we used to do.

8AM.  It'll be warm enough we can pretend spring has arrived.

Who's in?

All:

I was poised to suggest just what Jett has . . . with one addendum:

I say we go back to our previous, more-rigorous schedule of a Saturday 9 a.m.,
pre-set ride and the traditional 8 a.m. Sunday from here on out.

The extended weather outlook is for 60s into March, so cold should be minimized.

We should probably have some chimings-in about it all, too.
As always, other ride options (special Saturday rides to Silk Sheets, for
instance) are great, too.

Ride safe, and talk soon,
Barry

Lance 2.0 is done.  Lance 3.0 begins, as our guy pulls together a legal team to
take on Jeff Nowitzky, who might have witnesses that saw Lance lying on the
floor of a team bus with a blood bag.   Contador 2.0  begins.  Or maybe not. And
maybe the UCI never suspended Contador 1.0.  Do blood bag plasticizers in one's
test samples mean anything?  Or is clenbuterol is just a puzzling accident that
happens from time to time at Spanish farms that never before have tested
positive for clenbuterol in their beef?  And Ricco is in the hospital with the
flu, except a transfusion from an improperly refrigerated blood bag seems to be
involved.  It's all so confusing!  Damn, there's bad blood everywhere!

Come help figure this out.  Take your coffee, your supplements, your inhalers,
and your electric-assists but leave the blood bags at home.  There's a bad juju
around the blood!

Hope you can join us--unstoked--tomorrow.  Leaving East Decatur Station at 11 AM
SHARP, 34 miles, 17 mph ave., friendly but be prepared to keep up.

Jack,

I am good for a:

1, Medium, short sleeve jersey
1, small, bib short with enduro chamios

I appreciate you and Rich spear heading this.  Thank you!
