BIKE RIDE SUNDAY 12/18.
I am looking to ride tomorrow, Sunday, at 12:30 or so. The wind is SSW 11 MPH, temp is to be 47 degrees. Given my proclivity for flat surfaces, I would like to ride to Lerna and back, perhaps somewhat longer if it feels right. I rode to the last intersection before the south turn to Lerna today and it was very nice. The pace would be moderate (at least for me). I am negotiable (somewhat--no Denali or Stairway please) on the route. We can meet at Westgate, if anyone is interested/available. Please comment if you are interested, so we can plan.

Saturday 11/5 Bike Ride
I couldn't get the blog to let me comment, so I have to post. I signed in, signed out, and signed back in without results so here's my response.
I am interested in riding Saturday and the time is right for me. How far is it? It makes no difference, but it might help me figure out when we would get back. Any word on the forecast, temps, etc? Jerry

Is anyone interested in riding on Saturday? I have a homecoming breakfast I have to attend from 9am until about 10am or so, but would love to ride. I am open to any ride, nearly anywhere. We can also watch the weather and decide. It looks like it will be around 55 at 10 am with 11 MPH winds from the SSW. That means Lake Paradise might be good, or Neoga for a little longer ride. Takers? We could meet at Starbucks again, if you want.
Ellen and I are interested. It's going to be very nice out so let's take advantage of it. -KeithW
@Jerry, 10:30 at Westgate sounds good to us. -KeithW

Sunday Ride
It seems like we have a consensus. For those wanting just 30 miles or 80+ miles, meet at 7:00 at Westgate. Those wanting 50 or so miles, meet at 9:00 at the east side of the fairgrounds where some of the early riders will join up. Destinations of Arcola and Tuscola have been mentioned and both have good choices of food, so we can decide as we go. I'll check out the routes. Tuscola may even lend itself to a nice loop route.
A possible Tuscola loop is http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/49002504. It is 52 miles.
Those interested in a century ride will do the remaining miles at the end.
