I look forward to seeing you and Steve! Hopefully much better weather than last year, still about the hardest ride I've ever done. It took me 12 hours in the rain at 35 degrees, blech, but it made everything else seem easy! Take Care, Nelson.

I plan on riding the Jan 19th Brevet, riding my new DF. Steve, Greg, Bud - when will you guys be able to participate in an LSR event? I look forward to riding with you all soon. Paul - did you ride in yesterday's Brevet? Will you ride on the Jan 19th Brevet?

Jeez... wonder if I could sleep on the couch at Bud's place the night before???? I'll probably be up for the 200K if the weather's reasonable... if it's 35F and rain, ain't no way... I don't mind a cold start, as long as the midday is 50's or higher with sunshine!

Ray,depending on how well the knee does on the 50 mile Celina ride,I just might ride on the 19th.

I've toyed with the idea of going out the night before, as there is a hotel right near the start. Still just a thought though. If someone thinks they might want to split a room let me know. I could take the train out to Ft. Worth after work and then ride from there out to Willow Park, looks like its about 20 miles or so, then reverse the process coming home, or bum a ride back somewhere into the Metroplex.

Take Care,
Nelson.

I thought the LSR site listed a Lynn Creek start for Jan 19th.... ???? Next Event: January 19, 07:00am 200km RUSA, 300km ACP Brevets Lynn Creek Marina Are we talking about a different RUSA brevet???

Bud_Bent Moderator Posts: 3311	Re: January 19th Brevet Reply #8 - Jan 3^rd, 2008, 1:52pm Ok, I see the reason for the confusion. The only rides listed on LSR's site for the 19th are, indeed, out of Lynn Creek Marina. What ride were you talking about, Peggy? Is someone doing a permanent brevet that day out of Willow Park?

Pedalin` Peggy rbent member Posts: 261	Re: January 19th Brevet Reply #12 - Jan 3^rd, 2008, 8:22pm Sorry when I printed the 2008 schedule of rides it said the January 19th ride was from willow park. I'm glad you noticed the change. Steve and I still planning on doing the ride unless it's bitter cold or raining. Looks like we are riding at Lynn Creek Marina. The Stradas
