    3:00? Any of you slackers want join us?

    P.S. If you state "I would, but I don't have a bike"
    I will reply, "I have 3 extra bikes you can use: mrs whynots, and the bikes of our two neighbors who are away on vacation"

    Thinking of doing this also:

    A View Of New York Bay

    http://www.5bbc.org/rides.shtml
    10:00 AM, Picnic House in Prospect Park , 20 miles

    We'll take an easy route to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn with great views of lower New York Bay. We'll view the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge who's eastern foundation was once of Fort Lafayette. It's greatest notoriety was putting Americans in jail without a trial. We'll also take a look at a fifty-eight ton cannon that had to be loaded by derrick. Bring lock and money for lunch.

    I have paintball in Queens at 5:30PM. If you make it a true midnight ride, I may be able to join.

    I doubt it. It's supposed to rain later, and get colder. But you can join us anytime for the drinks.

    Not a hot start for me this year, on top of not doing this ride yesterday (sorry all) I also just realized that the 5 boro bike ride on May 3 is sold out already. Arrgghh! Someone buy me a calendar.

    danke! :)

    I almost rode down to rockaway beach earlier, just to make use of the weather.

    of course now that it's 5pm I regret getting lazy and not going..

    so did anyone actually ride? I was out of town.

    Christina rode the 20 miles as part of some other group, then decided there was no need to do two loops with me in addition.

    ...so, no one rode.

    But the interest is building.

    bump.

    It is supposed to rain on Sat (4/4/09), but be nice on Sunday.

    So who is in for a Sunday afternoon bike ride?

    I suggest meeting at 4 pm at the park entrance, twice around, then beer at Sepia.

    What say you?

    P.S. If I know you, I'll lend you a bike. (I have access to my nieghbors 2 bikes)

    Maybe. Maybe not. Will know more on Sunday morning.

    given the lack of interest, I've booked other activities.

    ...So, Christina is the one to ride with. ...but it doesn't seem like there is much interest.
  • christina

    Wait! I didn't confirm anything. I said Sunday morning, which is now. And I'm sorry, but I can't make it today.
  • whynot_31
    whynot_31
    so noted. ...people will have to ride around the park without a guide.

    You can do it.

    Forecast for tomorrow night looks good!! What say you, fellow riders? 9pm?? Two loops followed by a visit to one of the new bars on Washington?

    I have plans for this evening....but depending on how late I stay out, tonight _might_ work. 10pm might work better in that case...but do as you like...i'll figure something out.

    Are we ever going to go on a midnight ride again? How about tonight? Perfect weather, and drinks to follow!
