Group Ride - North Dallas - Frisco - 5/10/08 (Page 3)

I am in!  It should be a great day for a ride!  Look forward to meeting everybody!  Starbucks - 7:00am.

Tomorrow should be a great day to ride if there is no wind.   It says the low tomorrow is 58 so that will probably be sometime during the night.  Hopefully mid 60's to start out.

One suggestion on the routes...I noticed you've got it mapped to take Gee and Fishtrap to get to 1325 once you hit 380.  I've stopped using those roads and instead just hang a left on 380 and take it to 1325.

Yes, it's 'highway', but in that area, 380 has a huge shoulder, and is separated from the main road by rumble strips.  Should be a much better experience, especially if there is a group of you.

Question:  Are you going to take the loops clockwise or counterclockwise?

All of Gee is repaved and nice.  Half of Fishtrap is repaved.  There is a 1/4 mile section on Fishtrap that is still rough. 

I was planning clockwise.  I'll have my cell if you want to give me a call once you hit the route.

I'm going to be at Starbucks a little before 7 if anyone wants to join me for a pre-ride espresso.

I am going to slam a triple espresso on ice with 2 Splenda's and chase it with a redbull.  Make sure you guys peel me off the Starbuck's ceiling before we head out.  We'll be there before 0700.

bkarhu - 2008-05-09 6:35 PM Hey Tommy...not that I noticed..but I do have a screen name (bkarhu)...I feel left out...Brian (bkarhu) (a.k.a. Chris'/Karhooligans'/Livestrongs' 2007/2008 sponsor). 

Don't cry.  I didn't know what it was.  Now HTFU...will you.

So sad that I missed the group ride.  About 6:20am I saw that I had a flat.  I have 650 wheels on my tri bike and didnt have a tube.  Not much I could do at this point.    Jen said it was a great ride and lots of fun!  Hopefully we can plan another one in the month of so.
