Saturday 6:00 am "badass-fest"

[Lund]

If you've been cowering under your Scooby-Doo blankie and ducking the Saturday Sufferfest, here's your chance for redemption!

Forecast is calling for the kind of weather that transforms mere mortals into legends of their time:

Special weather statement in effect for: Greater Victoria
The next storm is poised to reach the coast by early Saturday morning. Each storm will bring strong winds and heavy rain with daily rainfall amounts of 40 to 80 mm. Heavier amounts are likely for the west side of Vancouver Island.

Rule #9 will be fully in effect. (http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/#9)

So what's it gonna be?
a. I'm soft and kind of a sissy. I'm sleeping in.
b. Wind makes me whimper and rain makes me pee-pee in my Spongebob underpants. I'm staying inside.
c. I'm afraid of the dark. I'm going to stay home and play with my Barbie dolls.
d. I wanna be a legendary badass. See you there!

40 knots from South East at 8am might mean that you dont get back- ...Although there is a good chance of PBs on the way out
I'd love to join you, but Im otherwise engaged in the hospital.
Looks like fun.

Um... my Spongebob undies are in the wash, so I guess it'll be d).
Just bought new neoprene gloves for the occasion. Should be fun!

[Fozzy]

Nobody at Cook St at 5:50, or at Fairfield.
Went out on my own an gave up at McNeil Bay after being blown across the road a couple of times.
Stay safe guys.

So which one did you pick, Steve? a., b., or c.? ... or all the above?

The meeting time was 6:00, not 5:50. Steve made it as did Christian, Claire and myself. Rolf, did you choose c?

a. Definitely a. Glad no one got blown off their bikes...

[Claire]

Steve-ism of the ride: "I won't be happy until the rain drops are piercing the skin."

[Claire]

Garth chose e) I'm going to get drunk the night before and stay in my warm bed to sleep it off.
As if riding in sideways rain wasn't the best way to get rid of a hangover... Lame.

You guys are definitely BADASS- or just dumb

You guys are definitely BADASS- or just dumb
