Do Something Stupid

The monthly Chelsy's ride is rarely a disappointment and last night was no exception. To kick things off, Bob turned out wearing a sweet polyester sport coat - the kind you might see on used car salesmen. Chelsy's has some interesting patrons for sure, but this was probably their first one in spandex and sport coat. Our intrepid group of six grew when we encountered another rider on the sole trail (Bob's friend Bill / our guide last time at Fair Hill). A (very) little arm twisting and we were seven riders on othe monthly pilgrimage. Chelsy's was quiet for a Thursday night - the band cancelled - but this meant we got our customary corner by the bar (good to be home). We were wrapping up after 2 too many pitchers with a couple of rounds of sluts when The Cougar arrived to much fanfare and promptly paid us a personal visit that did not disappoint, leaving a couple of bikers wide eyed and nearly speechless. The ride home was punctuated with the typical jocularity, occasional sprint race, and a crash or two. All in all a decent Thursday night.

Damp today but bone dry on Saturday so riding conditions should be great for this Sunday's roadie to Fair Hill. We have 7 confirmed riders (Chris, JimA, Sebastian, MikeR, DaveM, BobG, Sean). Sebastian is driving solo due to other commitments, so that leaves 6 for a car pool in Riley's Yukon. Details for Sunday:
  • 8:00am departure gets us back home by 2:00pm (1hr drive + 3hr ride + 1hr drive + 1hr whatever).
  • Departure means bikes loaded and Yukon rolling from 119 Kaiser, so plan accordingly
  • Please bring $5 for your driver (gas and general aggravation tax)
  • We'll park at the lot on Appleton Road (39°42'51.26"N 75°49'19.77"W for you GPS weanies)
  • My cell (484) 888-3367 in case any last minute additions or changes
  • Stock up on power bars and Gatorade so we can rack up some miles
Fair Hill is a great "introductory" roadie (not a ball buster like Wissahickon or Blue Marsh) so if you are fence sitting, this is a great time to jump in - it's NEVER TOO LATE. Let me know or simply show up at 119 Kaiser (Mike Riley's house) Sunday morning with your car and bike loaded and we'll make it a convoy (10-4).

Going forward we're implementing a standing roadie date so your wife has no excuse for scheduling a conflicting trip to the mall or the ballet. Roadies will be the 2nd Sunday of each month (i.e., next one is April 13) - so let her know and then setup the recurring appointment in Outlook so YOU don't forget. Oh and if you're Irish like Riley or McLaughlin, add the Saturday before the last Sunday as an early curfew.

See you tonight or Sunday or whenever.

Chris

Chelsy's Goes Hollywood

Live band, open mike, and triple the normal Thursday crowd greeted us last night in our spandex and bike helmets. A few "old friends" were on hand (Cougar, pizza guy, Nate the bartender, and others) to make us feel right at home. Great night all around, and 14 degrees wasn't a problem once the numbness set in.

Our March roadie will be the 30th so lock it in. We will institute a standard roadie schedule soon so it is easier to plan.

This Sunday will be a "Roadie lite" - we'll be taking it over to Sunoco for the normal Sunday ride (10-12). I think we have been there once - parked at Downingtown Bikes. Since the place was overhauled, does anyone know of a better place to park (closer to the action, whatever)? Also anyone know of a decent map of the new layout (I will scrounge around at lunchtime but I figure if someone already has it...). Will plan to leave Lyndenwood at 10:00 sharp, probably puts us at Sunoco at 10:15 in case you want to meet us there (once we decide exactly where "there" is)... Let me know if you are in and stay tuned for more!

Return to Fair Hill

Our much anticipated return to Fair Hill MD paid off for 8 riders yesterday with a 3 hour outing covering 16 miles of twisting rolling single track with the occasional log hop or rock garden thrown in for good measure. Thanks to Bill for his excellent guiding services, it was nice to just ride and not worry about maps and playing rock paper scissors to choose which fork in the road to take. He set a vigorous pace from the start (i.e., kicked our asses) which was most impressive given that he was on a rigid frame single-speed. Highlights included a couple of dog sled teams, the fox pen (not very sporting IMHO), and the Crackhead Bob trail. Also the valet service was a nice touch (ask Jim Taylor about his keys). Kirk your secrets are still safe (for now) as Drew did not make the ride - apparently he is a Wissahickon guy so we'll have to plan a trip down there soon - keep your calendar clear.
This week is our monthly not-to-be-missed Chelsy's pilgrimage. Standard ride schedule applies:
  • Tuesday 8:30pm Lower.
  • Thursday 8:30pm Upper. This is the Chelsey's ride, sluts for everyone and Mike is even hoping the cougar will be on hand - don't miss the reunion!
Also if you are interested in the February roadie let me know what weekends you cannot make it so I can tabulate and get it on everyone's calendar.
That's all for now.
Chris
