Hey, everyone, I just wanted to mention that Google has changed the blog format. (I had nothing to do with it!)
I'm not sure if you are being notified as before when I create a new post or when someone makes a comment on the blog. If you aren't, you may have to find the feature on blogspot which provides that for you.
It was also mentioned to me that some members see the older posts first and have to scroll down to the newest posts. There is a feature that allows you to choose to see the most recent posts first, so you don't have to scroll down for them. I haven't played with the new format, so don't know how to specifically direct you to that, but if you are a little tech-savvy, I'm sure you can find it.
If anyone finds where to do either of these actions, please make a comment to help the others!
Thanks!
Barbara

I'm Here
WCS Cyclists: I'm here and thought I'd share some photos of my rental for this season. It's a warm 70 degree day here with little traffic and few people...nice and calm. But I'm looking forward to seeing you all!

Happy New Riding Season, Everybody!
We're going to try to have 2-3 weekly rides on the calendar this season (M, W, F or T, Th) with occasional Saturday rides for "the girls." I'd like to provide a variety of choices for cyclists, since everybody is involved in other activities, too. I may not be able to make all of the rides and in that case, might ask for volunteers now and then to lead. Please let me know if you would be willing to lead rides, if needed.
Wednesday Ride Cancelled Due to Lack of Interest
Our first registration is Wednesday, Jan. 2 from 8:30-10:30AM, so our first ride will be after that at 11:30AM. Meet in the Market Shops parking lot (corner of Emerald Coast Parkway and Sandestin Drive) and we'll ride about an hour around Sandestin. After our ride, we'll have lunch at Rum Runner's in Baytowne Wharf (Beef O'Brady's is closed.)
Our second ride of the season will be Friday, Jan. 4 at 11:30AM in Freeport. Meet in the library parking lot, which is across from TJ's where we'll lunch afterward.
Be sure your bike is in riding condition and remember your helmet, sunscreen, ID, health insurance cards and money. A spare inner tube and pump might be a good idea, too.
Please RSVP here (under comments at the bottom of the post) if you are planning to make either or both rides, so we know who to watch for! You can always modify your RSVP if your plans change.
Note: As always, rides are weather-dependent, so be sure to check this blog about an hour before ride time to be sure it hasn't been cancelled!

Welcome to the 2012-2013 Winter Biking Season!
Hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is eager to connect with WCS cyclists again this winter. If my plans don't change, I will be returning to Destin this year November 15th and warming up the trails for the rest of you! Please let me know if any of you are here early, too, before we "officially" start our group biking in January, so perhaps we can warm up the routes together.
I'll soon be posting January's first week of rides here, so check back. Remember that our rides are weather-dependent, so always check an hour or so before we shove off to make sure we are still "on!"
See you soon!
Barbara

Hi From Atlanta
hi everyone---not doing many caps, too hard with one hand, and my left one, at that---just wanted to give you an update here, as individual email proves a bit tiring at this point.
had surgery yesterday for my wrist---several things were not done correctly in Florida---but the good news is that i didn't have to have a plate put in, just screws---will be in a cast for a few weeks more, then a custom-made smaller one to allow for physical therapy, which will be several months---
thank goodness there is Duke-trained advanced hand orthopedic surgeon at my son's hospital and he knows what he's doing!
hope you are all doing well, whether back in your respective homes, on the road, or still at the beach!

Biking Week of March 11-17
I'm hunting and pecking for those cyclists left and wanting to ride Freeport with John Beach leading. Here is his email text:
Next Thur, March 15, 11:00 A.M. at the City Hall in Freeport for a ride encompassing the full Freeport loop (15-18 miles) for those that are still here and want to dodge the Spring break crowd. I will watch the blog or those that are interested can email me @ sailmoor49@yahoo.com. We'll have lunch at TJ's after the ride unless another suggestion is made.

NO MORE BIKING FOR ME THIS SEASON
SORRY. SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO LEAD RIDE THURSDAY.
SPRING-BREAKER ON PATH MOVED OUT IN FRONT OF ME TONIGHT AND KNOCKED ME OFF BIKE. BROKEN RIGHT WRIST. CANNOT BIKE. CANNOT DRIVE. CANNOT DO MUCH OF ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. WORKING ON ARRANGING FOR MY SON TO COME PACK UP MY STUFF AND DRIVE ME TO ATLANTA.
THIS ONE FINGER TYPING IS A PAIN
SEE YOU ALL NEXT WINTER. :)
(P.S. LET ME AMEND THAT...DROVE BACK TO EMERGENCY AT SACRED HEART AT 3AM...THEY HAD TO ADJUST SPLINT...SO I GUESS WE KNOW I CAN DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE! :))
