Is this _the_ "Aiport loop" http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-state/tx/coppell/451215203 except we'd start at 4/21 and end at 4/21 (I guess this map is from someones house in coppell) or is there another route online?

That's the basic route, except that we're starting at the AVAYA company parking lot, just north of 635, closer to the "3/23" mile markers.

I can't keep up with the likes of Paul or Greg but it's equally painful for me to go with the slow guys. So I am in between. Anybody else is my category?

Assuming we get enough people there (and it sounds like we will), there should be groups for everyone. Besides, there's always regrouping points, and the bus transfer station at the south end is a good midway stopping point. Don't worry, just come out!!! The short 2-mile ride over to the Shell station will help people figure out who they want to ride with...

DANG IT! I was sooooo hoping to do this ride this weekend but I have a rehearsal and photo shoot at 6pm at SMU, for which I have to be dressed up and non-sweaty. No matter how I look at it, I don't think I'll have enough of a time window. Y'all have a great time and I'll just have to meet everyone some other day.

I suspect I fit in the "inbetween" category too.

Patti, if it makes sense to just come out to AVAYA to meet everybody, please consider that -- come out around 2:30 and say hi!

Paul I planing on riding without Steve cry

(football) Corsa Mike will be my riding partner , I did the 200k today in all that wind so I don't think I'll ride with the fast group tomorrow. Looking forward to see everyone and getting to meet some our new rbenters.

If I'm not there at 3:00 don't wait on me.

THe "Tower loop" detour at the south end is optional, and is about 3 miles. I'd recommend taking it, unless we have a 20 mph south wind.... http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/tx/irving/655885153 Paul

My allergies kept me up all night last night. I have been pretty much in bed all day, trying to make sure I make it to work tomorrow. Hopefully next time, it's been a really bad allergy season so far.
