Title: Play hooky on Friday?
Post by aikigreg on Feb 25^th, 2009, 2:48pm

I'm taking advantage of the sunshine and doing a 200k on Friday. Anyone want to come with?

Also, given that it's a workday, I'm looking to do one with little traffic, if possible, so I'm thinking about either Rio VIsta Rumble, This Ain't no Club Ride, or I'm open to suggestions.

I'd even do Spanish Fort if I can get a partner. I hate to be out of celphone range that far from nowhere without a compañero.

There's supposed to be a front blasting in Friday morning. Seems to me that a route that went north first, then came back south would be better. You may be going against the wind all day on Rio Vista Rumble. This may have been the day for Honey Do.

well crud - when I looked at the weather report early today it showed 84 degrees. Now it shoes 61 [smiley=headbang.gif]

I'm not worried about the headwind too much. I just need to get my 200k done. two months. Just two months.

It sounds like the colder air and bigger wind will be Saturday, so a Friday ride may be a good choice.
