Anyone able to ride Sunday afternoon?  12:30 at Blockbuster?

If Chris and John have to be back in time to cover the kids, I’m willing to forego the Bluff Road portion.  No problem.  36 miles will work for me.  Or, better yet, if some want to go on to Bluff Road, we can break out into groups after W.G.  
 
Weather and wind should be cooperating on Saturday.  Should be nice.

could manage was a tepid 15.1 average.  We wouldn't have gotten up that
high if Guillermo hadn't put the hammer down -- in a relative way of
speaking -- on the way home, fearful that we'd get back with a 14 MPH
average.  It was a beautiful day for a ride, despite the headwind, but
a pitiful performance.  Seems like we're all winding down for the
winter. 

Here's hoping we get the chance to redeem ourselves the day after
Thanksgiving.

We ride as long as there's no ice on the roads....it' s all about the
layers and wool socks...a shot of espresso before you walk out the door
and hot ginger tea on board helps too.

Well I hope the expanded forcast is wrong because it's calling for rain

and then snow Friday or Saturday with it getting very chilly!

Let's cross our fingers and see what the Wizard of Weather says.

I love the "Meat from the Bone Ride"! 

I'm doing more eating than cooking this year so I'll be out if the

weather permits.

We'll see what the weather is like when the day comes, but in the

meantime, it's a good idea to pencil this in on the calendar.  Last

year's ride was hard, but it felt vituous after all the overindulging.

I need to be home by 8:50am.  No pressure though...if this is not in

your plans.  Let me know if it works and I'll join you??

Downers Grove is about 35, Lisle is about 40.  Probably

be back by 0800-0830 depending on destination.  I'm flexible on that.

Steve,

How long is that ride? What time would you be back in OP??

The wind is supposed to be out of the south.  If we head

west, it would feel like a headwind both ways.  If we head toward

Downer's Grove we would have a quartered headwind going out and a

partial tailwind coming back.

Forecast is for 50 degrees and clear on Saturday.  Anyone up for a

ride?  0630 has been a convenient departure time in the past, so how

about that?  Can anyone do 40 miles anymore, or should we set our

sights lower?  I'm flexible.
