Hay msh134, I was wondering if you got the bike and boxes unloaded? Have you been enjoying the sun and riding yet?

I will ride just as long as work doesn't get in the way. A buddy of mine might ride to.

Looks like we have five for sure and maybe two more if GADawgs can make it. Anyone else?

If I can get a sitter for the kids, I'll probably ride along... but I don't want to slow you down, so I'll probably ride on the back of Joe.1955's bike.

Bring your bike if you want. It would be a shame to leave it in the garage. I am not in to hauling a$$. I like to ride around 5 over the posted. Keeps me out of trouble. Most peopleI ride with do the same. I can't speak for this group because Iwill bemeeting most of them for the first time.
Whatever you decide, it will be nice to meet you and Joe. I hope you get the sitter.

Iasked her to leave the bike home for the same reason - new group of riders and not knowing their riding styles.

She still needs more practice before attempting this ride on her own. She's doing great but has no experience yet at sustained speed, mostly neighborhood riding. There are also some little used muscles that need to develop to ride distance without getting fatigued or cramps.

We'll ride two up this time and hopefully she can make the next one on her own.

My brother and his girlfriend are also thinking about coming, but haven't committed yet.

Sounds good Joe. My brother's wife just started riding this year and is taking it slow also. She rodeby herselffor the first time a couple of weeks ago. She took it in to work.My brother works night shift so they actually passed each other on the road. He said it was pretty cool, they gave each other the biker wave as they passed.
