Tripleshot Cycling

As you know, the weather was so cold and crappy today we scrapped the Terranova ride. Well, most of us did. A few brave souls went out and said the route was so good they want to do it again. So, I propose we head out with our coffee supplies next Sunday. I hope those that were keen for this ride can make it.

Weather forecast is practically tropical. Low of 6 high of 11!!!! Let's leave at 7:30 from Cookbucks so we can ride in pure sunlight.

Please reply if you will attend and what you will bring. Again, this is a full day ride so seek spousal support.

I’m in

Available.

Yup. I'm in.

I'm committed to build our hotly-anticipated bike storage facility (garden shed) this weekend and can't do an epic. I'm up for a normal ride...

are there any normal people here?

I’m normaler, Mashby. If I’m not locked in my secret underground bunker by then, I’ll be sure to ride. Something normal.

"Normal", I'll take some of that. What are the chances though that by the weekend we'll be ordered to "shelter in place" as 7 million Bay Area folks have been just now

I've just created a post for you "normal" people

In the spirit of self-isolation, this ride is now cancelled. Sniff.

Self isolation? Just wear a mask dude, like these guys...

Am I overreacting? Should we keep going?

Seriously Ron, I don't think you're overreacting.

My (slightly Jameson's influenced) take on this bizarre science fiction movie that we're living in is that UFN we should not post group rides. That said, I'm flexibly (sp?) working from home and happy to receive ad hoc invitations for 2-3 to hit the trails (even hills) and into the fresh air - but not crazy long and technical - and not ending in shared coffee time. .
