Title: Tuesday night WRL ride
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Mar 21st, 2016, 4:07pm

I'm planning to lead an every-Tuesday evening "starter"-type ride at WRL, starting April 5th.  This is "officially" a GDB ride, but really open to anyone...  Most of the time, it will be Terrie and I on the tandem, so definitely not a fast-paced ride.

We will meet at the Big Thicket house parking lot, with a 6:15PM rollout.  Planned distance is two laps, whatever daylight can provide.  Anticipated rolling speed ~14 mph, no drop, will take breaks if needed.

The first of these rides will actually be APRIL 12th, not the 5th...  I'm outta town on the 5th.  If you're free on Tuesday evenings and want to join a casual paced group for two laps or so at WRL, please join us!

Is roll out still 6:00 PM? The GDB events calendar lists roll out as 6:30 PM.

Ride is cancelled for tonight -- rain approaching from the southwest......

We'll try it again, next week.   Probably looking at a 6:15 rollout.

I was out tonight, did notice a few drops on my last lap around 7:00 but otherwise fine, hopefully see you next week although it also looks like rain

Weather forecast does NOT look promising for this week, either...  I'll post here Tuesday afternoon for a status.

No rain Paul just clouds like yesterday, I'll be out there looking for you although I may be a blur passing you by :)

Only thing to look out for is mud under Mockingbird to the north other than that the lake is in excellent condition

GDB White Rock Moderate ride for tonight (4/26) is cancelled, due to the nasty weather forecast.

It held off until my 4th lap and started light sprinkles at the south side around 7:45, did look pretty ugly most of the ride so I can't blame you for cancelling

Last thing I need is the wife on the tandem, in the rain... and trying to load the tandem back onto the top of the car, and transporting it home in the rain... and getting it off the car and back into the garage, in the rain...

Ride is on for 5/3 -- 6:15PM rollout -- I've gotten several calls and emails from "newbie" riders wanting to join in, so we'll see who shows!  This may be a somewhat more casual pace than usual, but that's OK!
