Default Tuesday Night EZ Fully Loop Ride

Meet at parking lot at 5:50PM
Roll-Out at 6:00PM

Are you looking for a slow, casual, social ride with plenty of rest/ regroup stops?

Is the Thursday nighter a bit fast for your taste?

Then come on out to the fullerton loop on Tuesday and join SAR_Boats and I on a Fully ride!!!

Once again free of parental responsibilities we are planning to hit the loop. Since I will be there and am not very good yet we are definitely going to set a nice, easy pace.

Route: Depending on time and ambient light, we may shortcut past cardiac hill but we will definately do the golf course trail.

Lights: If you have a light, bring it just in case. We will probably be done before it is completely dark but it is better to have a light and not need it. I have one extra I will lend out to whomever wants it and I will guide those without lights back to the parking lot safely.

I drive a small, black SUV with stickers on the back window. I will be parked at the south-east end of the courthouse parking lot. Hope to see you there!

As always, no one gets left behind

surlygal,

I'm up for a later start, as I'm coming up from Irvine. I would prefer a 630pm start and have no problem with having to use lights as I have one for me and one for the mrs. Mrs. Boats, what do you say??

Does anybody have a spare light for me, because my batteries take 36 hours to charge.

I am thinking 6:15ish. I have to pick Sonora up from the sitter, etc and don't like her to get into bed too late.

Can't wait to see everyone!!!!

Meg is bringing her Dad too, he got kinda jealous when she was getting stuff ready this am.

I may wait for her and us catch up if she's running late. she's coming from Irvine so traffic is her biggest issue with arrival time.

See everyone there!

oh and BTW: i'm riding a new heavy bike with travel and will be slow, very slow!

Might need to borrow a headlight; all I have is a AA mini-Maglite that's used when I ride around the neighborhood at night. I already have a rear LED light.

Just started riding with the Pugz's Sunday group 3 weeks ago.

Just found out that we no longer have an extra light. Boats' regular light died so we need a new one. I will be sure to bring my light, but I think we will be cool. We will buddy up with the people with lights.

I was riding that little downhill section right before the golf course parking lot, and as I was going down, my wheel got caught in that little trough, and I went over the bars. Luckily I didn't get a single cut or bruise, but my bars are bent pretty badly and I'll need a new stem.

I'm not exactly sure, I think it's a 100mm stem.
