Since Maria is not posting I will be happy to lead a B pace ride this weekend. We can do the same route with a 10:15 departure.
Please give me some idea if this is acceptable to the group. I will plan on a 16 pace or whatever the group wants. It is a no drop. If nobody has interest in this please let me know so I can go with the A group push too hard and get dropped :) Ed > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 4:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Gyros: 14870] 2/13 Weekly Ride Schedule! > > > G's, > > Wow, A Saturday without rain!!!
