RR: Daley Ranch

[allison]

We did a small group ride today at Daley with a few new peeps. Gene and Mitch came down from the OC.

Awesome. You've taught me a valuable lesson: be the camera person on Cardiac!

I wish I could have made this ride. Next week its on!

great pics...that's right when you're the camera person it's difficult to have incriminating pics of yourself eating it

hey, you must have been the guy that got mis-counted.

allison and i are very sorry. there was some confusion caused by me going off ahead to show gene some different routes, and then even more when ben split off. from what i understand allison counted a stranger as part of the group and thought all the group was there. truth be told, she doesn't lead rides (she usually has me do it) and i was doing a very poor job today.

after we discovered you were not with the group we waited for a pretty long time at the pond, sent someone back to look for you, and then waited a while longer at the ranch house.

i am very sorry you got left behind. i hope you will come to another ride and let me make up for it.

Hey Liquid, sorry about today. We wondered where you went. Hope you got a ride anyway. Come on out to next Sunday's ride. This will be more newbie friendly and you'll get a good ride in plus meet some other STR members.

I had a blast today. Thanks Justin, Allison, Ben for showing me around. I really enjoyed Daley and look forward to next Sunday. The climbs were good and I'm glad I was able to make them. My legs were screaming from all the miles I put in this weekend, but well worth it. I'm at work right now so I'll post my pics when I get off. I'm here till noon tomorrow. Thanks again for a great ride!
