Tuesday night WRL ride
Mar 21^st, 2016, 4:07pm

I'm planning to lead an every-Tuesday evening "starter"-type ride at WRL, starting April 5th. This is "officially" a GDB ride, but really open to anyone... Most of the time, it will be Terrie and I on the tandem, so definitely not a fast-paced ride.

We will meet at the Big Thicket house parking lot, with a 6:15PM rollout. Planned distance is two laps, whatever daylight can provide. Anticipated rolling speed ~14 mph, no drop, will take breaks if needed.

I'm outta town on the 5th. If you're free on Tuesday evenings and want to join a casual paced group for two laps or so at WRL, please join us!

I was out tonight, did notice a few drops on my last lap around 7:00 but otherwise fine, hopefully see you next week although it also looks like rain

No rain Paul just clouds like yesterday, I'll be out there looking for you although I may be a blur passing you by

Only thing to look out for is mud under Mockingbird to the north other than that the lake is in excellent condition

It held off until my 4th lap and started light sprinkles at the south side around 7:45, did look pretty ugly most of the ride so I can't blame you for cancelling

Last thing I need is the wife on the tandem, in the rain... and trying to load the tandem back onto the top of the car, and transporting it home in the rain... and getting it off the car and back into the garage, in the rain...

This may be a somewhat more casual pace than usual, but that's OK!
