Title: Rbent ride , lunch, and Pool Party Sunday June 20
Post by aikigreg on May 13^th, 2010, 10:35am

Here's what I'm thinking: we have a little ride on this Sunday. two distances. One approximately 30 miles, and one 45-60. For the 30 milers, the route will be mostly MUP trails with only 1/4 mile of lightly traveled road. 12 mph average pace with regroups - very doable. For the 45-60, we will bridge beyond that onto nearly 100% very good roads with little traffic where we can go whatever speed we please, with regroups. I can include a 4.5 mile drag race in the route so we can square off and have some fun and watch Mark and Steve leave us in the dust.

I can have this ride start and end at a shopping center right off the trail that has a Red, Hot, N Blue Memphis style BBQ and we can socialize without worrying about what to bring.

Finally, it's an easy 3 mile bike to my place where we could enjoy poolside lounging with or without adult beverages. You could also drive there of course. There is also a trinity trails parking lot right next to my place so it would be even easier to do some swimming if you so choose. We'd ride out from that parking lot about 7:30 to go meet everyone else.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like great fun, but I believe we will still be out of town. Have some BBQ for us :D

sounds like a good time - when the time get's closer - I'll have to see if I can get permission from the boss (wife) to go since I'll be sticking her with the kids for most of the day Saturday. [smiley=chinscratch.gif]

Sounds like a good idea, hope the RAAM folks will be all done and back....

As Paul said we will not be home from RAW until sometime on Sunday the 13th of June. But its sound like a great time wish we could be there.

There is no reason why we couldn't make it the 20th if y'all could make it. I just threw out a random Sunday when I didn't see anything on the lsr calendar.

I'm sure Beth and I could make it, we'll likely bring the tandem.

We should try to firm up a date. Does the 20th work better for most?

If that'll work for Steve and Peggy - trying to find a way to include everyone.

Honestly, I don't think Peggy & I have thought that far ahead. We'll be back from crewing for RAW for a week. As in the past, pick a date & whoever shows up, perfect, those that don't ,don't.

I wish I could give you a more definitive answer right now.

i would love to come and meet all you people, maybe introduce you to my wife, ride with some other recumbents. i still have'nt done it with someone that can actually go. unfortunately, I work Sundays and the month of June is filled up anyway. I'm thinking that HHH might be the first time I actually get to see what yall look like.
