Just tell them you think everybody is guilty, and that Texas should bring back hangings.  From the biggest tree in town, with popcorn and lemonade for the kids.  Good old-fashioned family entertainment.
 
(Note to the overly-sensitive:  This is a joke.  I am only kidding.  Well, maybe a little.)

Steve W - you going riding with us this weekend?  I'm itching to call in a favor and try your bike out!

Man, does riding ever sound good.  I have to work until late on Saturday, then my wife and I are working a concession stand at the Cowboys game as a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on Sunday.  When are you guys riding?
 
I should be available Monday or Tuesday anytime, though.  Want to get together either of those days?  I could bring the Aero down to your area, or you could come up here for a tour of northern Keller and Roanoke.

OK, I just found the thread about the ride in Flower Mound on Saturday.  Crap, that sounds like fun.  Sorry I'll miss it.

If you want to meet some other day for an Aero test-ride though, just let me know...

Tell them you're in the witness protection program and can't be seen in public gatherings.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

As I recall, they'll let you postpone once without any problem.  
 
The VA scheduled my thyroid nodule removal for September 27th. When I called and told them I needed to re-schedule, November 15th was the next date I could get, dangit.

...or just blow off jury duty & use the fact of jail time as a motivating factor for more speed at the TTTT. I'm kidding of course. Good luck with the civic duty thing.

Yup, guess I'll have to.  I actually WANT to serve, incidentally - just the worst timing ever!

Greg, does this mean you going to have to miss part of the race?
 
Take Care,
