Ship last week was great...until the end. Man, that was a long wait for the check. More than willing to give it another shot, though.

I also like the "put in the name" idea at Heroes--maybe have Mario swing by between laps?

If that's a bust, Roscoe's patio is right there.

And what's this beer garden Andy mentioned? That sounds pretty good, too.

Aw hell, just point me toward a cold draft already.

She(my friend at the bldg dept) told me to just take it down...hahha..she is going to have the inspectors and/or city maintaince stop by there tomorrow...

The beer garden is the Farmers Market they have on thursdays behind the parking lot on Chapman and Harbor...they sell only 2 kinds of beer that changes from week to week...mostly meduim to dark beer....

I sincerely believe that the "closed" sign will not survive the thursday ride if it is still there.

Letyrides · 05-16-2007, 08:46 PM

Hmmm...I should have just gone thru. I was so tempted now that I know its ok I'll have to plow thru.

Beer Garden is fun and there is also lots of food at the farmer's market itself. Food on a stick! It closes at 8:30.

I've seen every thing from 5 - 6:45. What is the early time, and whats the 2nd round time??

guero · 05-17-2007, 10:08 AM

jared, i believe the second loop will begin around 645ish. i plan on getting there around 6:15ish.

royta · 05-17-2007, 10:08 AM

I'm still waiting for my replacement helmet mount for my L&M ARC. Will we be done before sunset?

Keith B · 05-17-2007, 10:08 AM

I'm riding at about 5.15 with Sauce and a friend from work. I think Anne is riding with a friend of hers at about the same time.
The main ride is at 6.45 as usual as far as I know.

I will have mine for sure....

I cant escape work sooner than 5pm then I race the 73 and get home, grab my bike and change then charge up Beach Blvd to the loop and pray I make it in time!!!

Keith B · 05-17-2007, 10:11 AM

We used to start at 6.15 negating the use for lights now that its summer but the start time seems to have slid to 6.45

Hmm. The mount should have gone out on Monday, and I think it's coming from Monterey. It should be here today. If UPS, it won't be here until 5-ish, perhaps giving me enough time to make it in. If USPS, again, I might have enough time. We'll see how it goes.

I could always use my bar mount. It's not like it's riding Holy Jim at night, where the helmet mount is good for looking around corners.

In my experience, bar mounted lights work better for this ride. When doing group rides, a fair amount of dust kicks up, and when you're wearing the light on your head, the dust lit up by the light can make the trail difficult to see. Either is fine, though, but I always chose to use a bar-mounted light for Fully Loop rides. HJ is a different story.

~ Pakiha ~ · 05-17-2007, 11:06 AM

so I should be ok without lights on a 29'er .... Right?

Only because of the magical wheel diamter. 26'ers MUST USE LIGHTS, or they will DIE.

I'll need to know a head count for Heroes...but it may be possible to ride ahead and prep the bar for the coming of the lord
