Biking Week of Feb. 26-March 3

Monday, Feb. 27:  We'll try this again guys, since the weather postponed it last time.  Meet at 11AM at the east end of the Market Shops parking lot (shops at the main entrance to Sandestin, along south side of #98.)  We'll ride Sandestin and back to Beef O'Brady's for lunch.
Update:  Ten mile ride through beachside and bayside Sandestin today...a little cooler than we all would've liked, but we did it.  Stopped to see the little island on Sandestin and then some of the spouses joined us for lunch.  Great company, thanks everyone!

Thursday, March 1:  Oh no, it's already March!  Not much time left for us and some will have already left by now.  Let's hope the predicted 30% chance of rain means we won't see any.  Let's meet again in Freeport at 11AM and have lunch at TJ's afterwards.  What's nice about this ride is no traffic or pedestrians or cracks in the sidewalk!  All smoothly paved bike path!  Directions:  East on 98 to 331, North on 331 to Hwy 20, West on 20 to Freeport City Hall/Library, where we'll meet and park.
Update:  Seventeen of us enjoyed lunch together after the ride in Freeport!

  1. We won't be seeing you today for the SanDestin ride, but will be there with bells on (well, one bell) for the Freeport ride on Thursday. See you then.

    1. Great, Ken. Looking forward to seeing Margaret, too. Last I heard, Chris will ride today and Terri Olson emailed to say she will ride, though Roger is staying home to watch the rain-delayed Daytona 500. So far, we have 4 riding and 5 for lunch.

  3. For those who are looking for the Guacomole recipe, I posted it under the comments for Sunday's potluck.

    1. Let's hope it doesn't thunderstorm...there's a 30% chance right now, but that could change!

  7. If my list is right, Newby's, Beaches, Olsons, and Quackenbushes will join me tomorrow for the Freeport ride. Anyone else?

    1. Looks so yukky out, Chris, so I'm double-checking the weather report. Lots of people want to do this ride, so unless the chance of rain has been increased, I think it's a go.

      I'll post soon if not. Do you want to ride over with me so that Patty can come later in your car?

    2. What time would we leave,I don't know how long the drive time to freeport takes. I don't think my bike would fit on your bike carrier. Patty may not go if the weather if overcast.

    3. Dang, I keep forgetting that about your bike. Sorry. I'm leaving here about 10:10ish. The ride is only about 25 minutes, if I recall correctly. I want to leave extra time. Do you want to follow me then?

      Delete
    4. OK, I'll follow you over. Where are you parked?
