January 19th Brevet
Jan 1st, 2008, 9:05pm
 
Is anyone going to be riding the willow park 200k  January 19. I have taken the day off from work. Steve is a maybe(knee).
I'm planning on riding it.

Since I couldn't go today, definitely planning to be there.  Awesome Peggy!  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.

Like Nelson, I couldn't ride in yesterday's Brevet.   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?

OUch... 7AM departure from Lynn Creek?  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...   Shocked  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.

Huh, Paul? Willow Park is near Weatherford. And starting there, I expect the route is pretty hilly, too.

I must be misinformed... 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???

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?

Brenda Barnell our Brevet Host for the weekend, has changed the start location to Joe Pool so no Willow Park Brevets for this weekend.

Oops my bad, last year this one was at Willow Park, didn't actually check to see where it was this year.
 
So I guess the night before plan is out.
 
Take Care,
Nelson.

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.

Based on the forecasts for cold weather Saturday, the candyas# randonneurs(The Stradas') are very doubtful for this brevet(too cold)!!
