Yeah squad... lets not play the change of plans game 2 hours before we leave. Some people plan for this ride all day long and it gets really frustrating when a ride that has been going out consistently on a monday and has been planned gets changed.

The "official" no drop ride will be in effect. If other peeps want to do other things thats totally fine, but I just didn't want people to think the plans have changed.

No drop
Leaving from the union at 5:30
Road bikes
helmets
etc

Dakota... we'll see you there (now u said u were going so u have to hahaha)  :P

For anyone coming to the meeting tomorrow night (at the Union, Memorial Room, 7-8pm.)  be sure to bring your bikes!  We'll be hitting up an evening fun ride around GF after the meeting.  Maybe some parking ramps, skate parks... we'll see where we end up.

Baderade... we do in fact roll lots of group rides.

Those are the only "official" scheduled ones so that people have something to expect. Now that the collegiate season is over, things will start to pick up and rides will go out more frequently.

If you're going for a ride and want some company... post one up. There is no "schedule" this is a free forum for people to post when and where they're going as they see fit. We simply try to provide structure.

I'll more than likely be coming to the TR ride. however I might be a bit late because I have to work at SBS until 5:30. If anybody needs to get out there a bit later and needs a ride, I could maybe accommodate one more person in my car, but I don't have a rack or anything so it might be tight.

Yes, helmets are a necessity at TR. Although you are free to do as you wish, the first time I went to TR I wondered if I should bring a helmet or not, I did thinking it was better to be safe than sorry. I was extremely happy that I brought one, as there were a few instances where I nearly bashed my head into a tree. I'm sure that somebody can lend you one, the only extra helmet that I have is my old BMX helmet, so I'll toss that in my car in case you need it. If somebody else has a helmet that they would be willing to volunteer, let us know.

I have an extra helmet that I can lend.It's nice TREK helmet.I will pass it to Yost.
The minimum number of bikes one should own is three.  The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned.  This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

The wednesday ride will probably be the last "full" ride of the year. Most of us are leaving at the end of this week. It would be totally awesome to have everyone out.
