I'd like to get some folks together for a ride of loops around White Rock on Saturday the 8th -- but starting at 1PM, to give whatever chill will probably be in the air a chance to go away a bit.  
 
FAIR WEATHER CAVEATS --
   *  If it's below 40 degrees, it's off;
   *  If it's been raining, and areas around White Rock are probably still wet, it's off;
   *  If it's below 50 degrees, and the forecast says > 50% chance of rain, it's off;
 
MEET AT:  The parking lot just west of the 7-11, near the spillway.  Departure 1PM, or as close as possible.
 
Two Speed Groups anticipated -- a) 17-20 cruising speed, with sprint zones, three loops, and probable Loving Hills work;  b) 12-16 cruising speed, more casual, two loops or whatever you want to do.  Regrouping encouraged, as most of us are familiar with White Rock.  Anticipated finish around 3:30PM.
 
Get out the balaclavas!  There's a reasonable possibility of hot chocolate and snacks existing after the ride...  
 
I will post on this board any last minute weather-related cancellations.

Sounds good to me. I can make it baring any unforseen family obligations. I ordered a replacement idler from Hostel Shoppe  so my shifting will work right again on my "new" EZ 1CT and I look forward to riding with the old gang again.

I might be able to make it.  Robert, would you like to ride together?  I am in Southlake.  Aren't you in Keller?
 
I'll bring my favorite post-ride recovery beverage:  Blue Moon.

That would be Blue Moon Belgian White, in a frosty mug, with a wedge of orange.  Bummer about the White Rock rule.  I didn't know about that.  Oh, well.  It's still a great recovery drink!

Looks like Charlie's in.  We'll figure out how to get his, Steve W's and my bike in my truck.

I'm also leading the GDB "Distance Builder" ride that morning at 9AM to the tune of about 40 miles (probable average 14), so if anybody wants to join me for pretty much the entire freaking day on the bike and get in a reasonably casual-paced Metric, c'mon out to the southwest corner of Preston and Forest that morning!!!   Weather forecast looks promising, at least as of Monday AM...

I would have liked to join you guys but my wife has "informed" me that I will be babysitting two half wild grandchildren.
