Hey guys, figured that this was an easier way to correspond, rather than through PMs and personal e-mails.  And it looks like we all check the MN forum pretty frequently (or in many cases, too frequently).

Steve (hikergerb) and I (sparco) were going to do a wetsuit transfer next week.  Plan was to get together next week at Chipotle's (ummm, burritos) in St. Louis Park (or any other favorite location).  Both Tom (Matchman) and Rodger (rabkaman) are in Golden Valley/St. Louis Park during the work week as well.

My schedule is a little busy next week.  Here's when I'm available:
Tuesday the 17th, (anywhere between) 11-1
Wednesday the 18th, 11-1

If those dates don't work out:
Tues 24th, Wed 25th or Thu 26th (again, somewhere between 11-1).

Who's up for lunch?

Sal and company.  I am up any day of the week.  I may need a ride since I have started to commute on my bike.  I work at West lake Street and Hwy 7.

How about Wednesday at 11:30 at Chipotle's (unless anyone else had a preference).  Steve, I can come pick you up.  I could always pick up the wetsuit at another time too to make it easier...

I'mm good any day you guys decide on as long as if I rode that day I can get a ride.  Without my work clothes in the backpack I should have plenty of room to get the wetsuit in to work tomorrow.

BTW - my butt is seriously dragging right now!

Autumn - you certianly can make out here via the Greenway.  I have a guy that lives just a few blocks south of you that rides in frequently.  When your looking at the trail map you'd want to get off on Beltline and work your way around to the Chipolte.  You ought to give it a thought!

Autumn, come on over.  The Chipotle's is the one at 5480 Excelsior Blvd, St. Louis Park, MN 55416.  I guess it's kind of over near Lake Calhoun.  Quite a few blocks west.

Let's push this back to next Tuesday at 11:30.  That way Steve can get more familiar with his bike commuting logistics (I'll still pick you up), and Tom will be back in town.

Autumn, we don't want you to face too much heavy traffic, especially w/Fiona in tow/alongside.  Is there anything right off the Greenway that would be convenient for you and Fi to get to?  It doesn't have to be Chipotle, just somewhere where a waiter/waitress doesn't have to take an order (quasi-fast food).  That would allow people to break away from work without too many consequences (hee, hee).

Autumn,

 Just to let you know Dan's wife (they live just south of you) just showed up here at the shop on her bike with THREE kids in tow.  You certianly would have no trouble getting here.  I would agree with Sal if we could come up with something closer to the bike path it would be better.  I don't mind fighting my way through traffic but I would hate to see Autumn have to do it with Fi in tow.  Too many chuckle heads out there!

the greenway connects to the trails at calhoun, so i can take it all the way over. getting to the start of the greenway is cake. so, chipotle is fine

the only glitch will be if i am doing the art adventure thing at E's school that day...but i'll lobby for Th (i need more time to prepare anyway).

don't worry about me. i've never had a licence and know where to go to avoid unsafe stuff. greenway should spit me out at calhoun, so that's the way i'll go...and it should be easy enough to figure out the route from there.

there is a chance i'll be volunteering at ella's school that afternoon. if i am, i'll have to try and make it another time.

Autumn - I could be totally wrong, but I think you're thinking of the wrong Chipotle. Are you thinking of the one by Noodles & Co, Whole Foods , etc? The one in St. Louis Park is also on Excelsior, but further down right by 100. You can continue on the Greenway, past Calhoun for a ways and then cut left when you get to Beltline and wiggle your way down to Excelsior. I'm sure Steve can give directions from there. Just didn't want you to end up missing them.

Emily's right about the two different locations.  Let's get a date and a place worked out (I'm throwing that back to Sal) and then we can get the details worked out.   (I gave my co-worker a ton of crap for his wife riding in -towing threekids - and he drove to work today )
