Hi Gang,
I'm putting four rides on the calendar this week to try to accomodate everyone's schedules. Let's try it and see what happens. We're still tweaking the schedule to find the best combination.
Also trying to keep the routes alternating and varied. Here goes:
Monday, February 4
Meet at 11:30AM in the Freeport library parking lot. We'll do our usual 10-12 miles in Freeport and lunch at TJ's afterwards.
Wednesday, February 6
Meet at 11AM in Clemente Park on Calhoun in Destin (Google it if you need directions) and we will ride our typical hour-long Old Destin route, then lunch at La Famiglia's new location in Harborwalk.
Thursday Ride Cancelled. (Weather.com is saying this right now: Rain, with thunderstorms developing by 9am. The rain should end by noon. Cloudy with temperatures rising towards the upper 60s. Winds SE at 15 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 95%.)
Thursday, February 7
Meet at 11AM in the Shades parking lot (at the end of #30A) in Rosemary Beach. We'll ride west along the bike path 5 miles and turn around to end up for lunch at Shades.
Friday, February 8
Meet at 11AM in the Fresh Market (Destin) parking lot (park in the back or along the road to leave the better spaces open for its customers.) We'll ride into Kelly Plantation and hope we don't get "evicted!" I've heard from several sources now that if we ride in, we won't be stopped. (Remember, we used to drive there, park at the restaurant and ride? Then all of a sudden they banned cyclists from driving in to cycle. Must have been all those empty beer cans we threw in the bushes.) If we meet with resistance, bring your water pistols. We'll lunch at Kelly Plantation's Golf Clubhouse and Grill, which is open to the public.
Note: Remember to check the blog an hour before any ride to make sure there has been no cancellation/change!
Bring ID, insurance cards, spare inner tube, helmet, bike lock, sunscreen, money, maybe cell phone.
Gang, I'm trying to consolidate the RSVP's by day on our blog, so we don't have to scroll through them all to check on who is coming for each. If you wouldn't mind, when you RSVP, please hit "reply" under the day you are RSVPing for. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEveryone,
DeleteThere is some confusion about the new way to RSVP. You have to go to the blog, click "comments", but then don't just add a comment at the end of the comments list. Instead, see where I've started groups of comments by days of the rides. Choose which day or days you can ride and hit "reply" under that day. I hope this is clearer. Sorry for the confusion!
