Rodeo and Italy rides
May 9^th, 2016, 5:14pm

Well, I've signed up for the Rodeo Ride in Mesquite, 08:00 Saturday, June 4, and the Tour d'Italia in Italy, Texas, June 18 @ 08:00. Italy was my first tee shirt ride (in 1994), so it's kind of an old favorite. Still $30 for that one. Since it is still spring on the 18th, I don't expect it to be too hot. Both rides have online signup, via a third party, which costs extra and is a PITA. but for Rodeo you can sign up by mail. Or you can just show up that morning. Anyone else?

Italy was my first tee-shirt ride too .. I can't remember when it was, sometime in the early 1990s .. I probably can go look for the shirt as I would have kept it. Even though like most things its "shrunk" with age Grin

I'm iffy for the Mesquite ride as I'll be coming home from overseas that friday and may just go ride one of club rides. I've signed up for the Italy ride. I expect to ride the Milan in it but could be talked into something else if there's a group that wants to ride together.

If the weather cooperates, I'm going to try to coerce Terrie to do the Rodeo ride 42 on the tandem this Saturday -- although the forecast isn't great at the moment. It'll be a Friday night decision.

Similiarly, I'm actually able to do the Italy rally (myself) this year, after all... This was the first ride Terrie and I did, back in 2005, when she was on the EZ-3USX.

I'm not going to preregister, given the random precipitation that keeps plaguing us, but I'm planning to do the ride if weather cooperates. Anyone else besides Bob planning to go? We could hang together as a group, the whole distance...
