This does sound like an excellent idea! I'm right there with you SAC, 42, 2 kids and with the working in Nashvegas it's tough to make the club rides, count me in on some if not all of these rides! I like the later start times also and the heat......well it helps you sweat off the lbs., you just have to stay hydrated, no problem. Not to mention a little carb replenishment after the ride in the form of cerveza is a bonus! I'll have to check my schedule and maybe rearrange some things, but this is an excellent possibility for this week. I like the Princess' idea on starting and finishing at the Mexican place too!

No problem with the change to the route nor starting out at the Mexican joint. That's actually better. In fact, if we can get some critical mass on these rides, maybe we can get the restaurant owners to throw us out some food and drink specials.
I'll post another Drunken ride announcement with the changes. Thanks!

Excellent!!

So, how many miles and how fast are we talking?

Valerie, from the ride maps on the site, it looks as though the school to school mileage is 30 miles. I'm guessing that with the starting point change that it may be 25-30 miles. As for pace I don't know what others do, but I'm looking at 14-16.

The change in route leaves about 25 miles. Since I am slower than everyone in the free world; AND in the interest of not being late for the festivities; AND in keeping with the motto "Do whatever you want"; I am shaving off 5 additional miles for myself. I can't keep up with any of the boys and am frequently out run by lots of the girls.

Sorry that I didn't make the ride, I had to help family move. So how was the ride and how many showed up? I'm sure that I already know how the post ride cerveza's were!
