CCRBENT Blue Moon Ride?
Aug 24th, 2012, 1:48pm
 
Anybody interested in a Blue Moon Ride on the 31st?  Here is the idea and explanation.

We could do suburban, or rural, (Wlimeth Loop anyone?) and meet afterwards for the tasty beverage of your choice somewhere agreeable...
 
Just a thought...

Wish I had a copy of the Soundtrack from An American Werewolf in London....but I do have Warren Zevon available if anyone has a boombox!  I finally finished poisoning my innards with Flagyl and another antibiotic last night.  I am feeling somewhat better (not like death warmed over from meds) today--food actually tastes mostly like food, and not bitterly metallic.  I am going to try a short EASY ride around the subdivisions tonight to see how I feel.  If things go ok, then I am probably up for another easy ride Friday night, assuming it isn't raining from Issac up this way.  The end of ride tasty beverage need not be alcoholic either--I won't be drinking any beer as Flagyl will still be slightly in my system, enough that the literature says NO Alcohol for several days after completing the course of meds.  I relaly don't want to end up on the floor puking!  Smiley

Sounds like fun, but I don't have very good lights.  they are "acceptable" but not great...have to see what the route is and what else is going on.
 
What is the planned route?

I didn't really have a route planned out yet Jim.  Do you or Key have any suggestions?  If folks prefer, we can even stop at some place like Sonic instead of a pub (wouldn't need bike locks then...)  I wonder if Denman & Bonnie have any ideas on this one?    You've got the furthest to go to get here, Jim...
 
Something like this?

It gets dark about 8:30 now, so we could meet at the Kroger parking lot at Lake Forest & Eldorado then.  Would that work?  Or if it is just you & Key, you could meet up at our place.

I may/may not do this ride...8:30 start 15 miles...10:00 home...get up early for the Lancaster ride tomorrow...Argghhh!  Too many rides.  Kim just said she wouldn't mind if I did both and since it's such nice weather and all...let me look this afternoon when I get off.  Trying to get her to come along, but with the late hour and the kids by themselves...probably not.
 
I'll text you and let you know.  Do we have any other confirmed/probable?
