Bike Ride to Riis Park: Sunday (8/2), 10AM

Why don't you flake out first? with them...not with us.

10AM?

Sunday morning?

But, but that' still booty call time!

If you're thinking of riding to Riis Park on a Sunday at this weather with a bunch of Brooklynians there certainly wasn't a booty call going on beforehand... (meow)

LOL!!


If we still had that rating feature , you'd get 5 stars for that one.

How 'bout Saturday? It's supposed to be the nicer of the 2 days:

And none of this 10AM crap. For some of us (ok, me, at least), I'm still in bed at that time. How 'bout Saturday, noon at GAP?

I can do later, but I can't do Saturday.

Ditto.

OK, scrap the Saturday idea then. I'll just go both days then. Saturday with the gf, and Sunday, weather permitting, with everyone else.

Alright, seems the consensus is for Sunday, so i'm editing the title to reflect that. There's a good chance I'm out of town this week, so I might not be able to make it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mendoza!!!

MOUGAR!!!!

Hey arches, don't think I can make the ride but would love to hear about your secret lunch spot This bike ride is one of my favorite NYC ways to spend a day...

I'm in for Sunday. Hopefully it's at 10am instead of hot as hell 1pm!

Are we still on? If we ride early we can avoid the pm thunderstorms perfectly.
Headcount please!

Me - in

Ok, I'm back in. Weather for Sunday isn't looking particularly good. Argh!!

Me! I'm in! Provided its not actually raining when we set off.

So I propose we meet at 10 am @ Grand Army Plaza. Let's do it!

I have returned from the outer banks 3 lbs heavier from 1 week of beer.

...I could do this from 10 -3.

ok, lets plan for 10am. Weather shows chance of thunderstorms starting at 11am now...so I guess we'll take a look to the sky before we head off.

From Yahoo:
# Tomorrow: Partly cloudy with a slight chance of thunderstorms. High 81F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
# Tomorrow night: Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Low 69F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

We'll be making a decision by 9am tomorrow. If we're going to Riis Park the meeting is at 10am at GAP. If not, we'll find something else to do.

OK, so I just got up and dressed and left to go for a run and.... its already raining!! Grrr!!! Very annoying. I think we should postpone again.

What does anyone else think?

...off to do my laundry then...

It sure doesn't look good out.

I definitely can't do next weekend though.

I just walked the dog, the cloud cover is pretty complete and doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

It's drizzling out at Riis too - a friend of mine went early today.

It's raining here too. Let's postpone. Booo!

What is plan B?

I think I'm joining Mrs. C and mahina for outlet shopping.

Cannot. Resist. Giant. DSW. :compress:

What do people think about 8/23 as the potential rescheduled date for this?

Works for me if the weather is good.

Think I might be outta town that weekend... will let you know nearer the time.
