Tuesday is the only evening of the week that I have allotted to ride. I will be riding with the Gyros on evenings that I have to go into work (one week a month) and with the HG group when I dont. Or if I do a ride in the morning I might ride with you guys. It depends. I wasnt there last night because I had riding already and didnt get back in time to make the ride.
Like the others said... I dont think it is the ride... just the week and weather. If you want my opinion I would like to see it be the hammer ride that it was 2 years ago. No rules. No specificly timed pulls. If the group wants to do a pace line let them. If someone wants to do a long, strong pull then let them. Just so long as we all try to go fast. But whatever is decided i will still be out there some times. On Jun 2, 7:51 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > Rick, > > Keep in mind it's a holiday week.
