Sunday Morning RIDE - Fixed or not, it don't matter!

Just got Harry's latest Sunday Morning RIDE call. It's a little more brief than the previous one, but I can fully understand why. I'm sure y'all have noticed that the non-event content on this site has been a little slim lately, for similar reasons. I'm working on sorting out the rest of the insanity in my life so I can get back to doing what I love (bitching and moaning on a website), but sometimes that's how it goes.

Thankfully Harry's still pushing on, and is dedicated to riding EVERY Sunday, rain or shine, at 8:20 in the freaking morning:

AN ABBREVIATED ANNOUNCEMENT

No time for extended discourse this week. The pressures of work are cutting into my ride time. Shoulda listened to my dad and married a rich woman.

Last week’s attendance was pretty thin. Probably my fault for waiting until the last minute to post the announcement. Just so’s ya know, yes, we will be riding EVERY Sunday morning, hot or cold, rain or shine. As the temperatures continue to cool down, we may set our launch time a bit later, so keep an eye peeled for our weekly post.

This week we’ll roll, as usual, from Posse East at 8:20 on Sunday morning. We’re looking at a run to the northeast this week to the vicinity of Cameron Rd/ Giles Rd/ Johhny Morris Rd.

Those of you who have ridden with us before know how we roll. For those who haven’t, please read the blah-blah below. It’s important. Really.

• Some of us are down with the fixed gear deal, but mostly we’re just about riding. Bring whatcha got and ride with us.

• Every cyclist is responsible for his or her own safety and well-being. We assume that everyone is familiar with basic rules of cycling safety and has enough hours in the saddle to feel comfortable with his or her ride. Use of helmets is optional (but highly recommended). Use of headphones, earbuds, Blue Tooth headsets or any other form of electronic distraction is discouraged. (It’s a SOCIAL ride, dammit!) All traffic laws and rules of right-of-way will be observed. Here’s the deal:

SAFETY FIRST!!!!!

If someone gets killed, it ruins the ride for everybody.

• This ride is 25-30 miles long through mostly urban and suburban areas. There will be ample opportunities to refill liquids and obtain calories.

• It’s not quite as hot out there these days. One water bottle should do.

• There is no SAG support on this ride. Bring a spare tube and something that will inflate it.

• The purpose of this ride is for everyone to have a good time and (we hope) to become better cyclists. We ride at a social pace, and all skill levels are welcome. This is a 25-30 mile ride over flat to moderately-rolling terrain. If this is consistent with your riding experience, or is perhaps slightly more challenging than what you’re accustomed to, you should have no problem going the distance.

C’mon out and ride with us.

That's the word. You an early riser or a really bad insomniac? Then this sounds like the PERFECT ride for you. DO IT!
