Subject line pretty much says it all. Last year we (2fast4love and me were regulars, a few other folks showed up sporadically) typically did somewhere between 20 and 30 miles. Typical routes: Hopkins Loop, Ft Snelling/Mississippi River Loop, Tour of the lakes, anything else you can come up with. 2fast4love allows no lollygagging, so be prepared to ride if you want to keep up.
If the weather is clear (or reasonably clear) this afternoon, I will be out there today, otherwise next Wednesday.

i was out on wensday had left my phone at home,
but to the guys i was toying with on the greenway,haha
i think your coaches would be ashamed.....
i let you catch me,even pass me,you feel confident,as i draft you,silently...... and then we ride side by side,i look you in the eyes and smile...... a casual 20mph turns in to a furious 30mph as i look back at you you give me the finger,thats when i know my battle has been won...
you dont need a 3 g carbon frame to be fast ,just the heart of a champion....
true story.....

true story..... Ha, I don't think that I'll be going on this ride anytime soon. Lately I feel like I'm 31 going on 46, and not a fit marathon running 46. More like a Hank Hill standing in a alley drinking beer sort of 46. You and Ted have fun embarrassing the greenway time trialers.

I just discovered I have a parental duty to perform that will make it hard to make it by 5pm. If not call me on my cell to let me know (I think you have my number). Happy birthday, btw.

I'd love to join you guys another week (next week, maybe), but 5 / 5:30 is just too early for me... If you could make it 5:45pm next week, I'd be down.

I'm doing the hopkins loop starting from punch pizza at 6:30 today.
What speed are you guys thinking? I'm a little on the slow side averaging 15 mph. I'm with eviljelly, if you make it later in the day around 6-630 id join you every wednesday assuming i can keep up with you speed demons.

The wind will probably slow us down on the way out, speed us up on the way back in. I was thinking of doing that route today myself, so perhaps we will meet you coming back. Holler. We can start the rides later (if 2f4l doesn't object) in June. Maybe meet at brackett instead of CRC.
