Please make plans to join us!!

The short ride is 21 miles and leave at 9:30 http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11711845

The long ride is 40 miles, and leaves at 8:30 http://ridewithgps.com/routes/253780. You'll need to average at least 12 miles an hour to get back in time for lunch at noon.

The forecast needs to change. Somebody needs to sacrifice to the weather gods so we don't; get rained out.

I nominate Larry Kirk for said sacrifice.

The way I choose to look at it is we have 53% chance of dry at 9:00, 51% chance of dry at 10:00 44% chance of dry at 11:00 - etc etc...it's perspective. Bring your rain jackets just in case I'm wrong. :)

It will be dry and warm in side the building and we will eat chili and hand out awards and celebrate cycling in Middle Tennessee!!

(and I'd rather sacrifice Bob, I like Larry)

Bob it is. Winner Winner Chili Dinner. I like Larry too.

Junkman fixed it for you.

Thank you Bob. Weather was almost perfect. Could have used a little sunshine. But I'll take it.

I think whoever believes the sacrifice is necessary, should volunteer themselves. Bob and Larry are the best! Love them both!

Thankfully, no sacrifices were needed and we get to keep Bob and Larry one more year! - the weather was perfect - the food was delicious, and the company was the best! So good to see everyone out there today. Looking forward to the Annual Cary Way Kick Off Ride - April 9! Mark your calendars!!
