    Are you planning to make it back by 6:15p, Andy? No way can I turn a 45 min. lap. If your pace will be just a tad more sane, I'll definitely join you for your first lap and maybe both.

    I'll be there around 4ish again for my pre-lap. If I can make it back by 5ish, I may join you guys. :-s

    running behind schedule, will make the 5ish lap instead of 4ish lap.

    Last nights snafu

    Okay, last night got a little messed up. We did the early loop, thought we missed the start of the 2nd loop, so kept going, while CC and Gene went back to get CC's lights. They said go on, we'll catch up. So Tim scurried down the trail playing catch up and we followed (slowly) behind. We took a shortcut thinking we would catch everybody and there was not a soul in sight. We finally caught up to Tim and he had the same report. We waited for a while and still no one. Went back to the parking lot, waited until 8:10pm, started to get worried, then checked my phone and saw a message from CC that ya'll were still in the pl at 6:44pm. I guess next time we'll come back to the pl!!!! :lol: We were trying to wait to hook up for dinner but by 8:15pm we were knawing at our arms and legs. Went to Sizzler, and saw a few of you go by.

    Until next week......

    P.S. Gavin is a handsome boy, Dell, you should be very proud. Congratulations!!!;)

    CC and I got back to the parking lot to see everyone still there. (Rut & possie, Dino, Mike, Nam). We mounted our lights and got rollin. CC and I hung back with Barry(mcgyver0302) and kids. When we got to the Grissom Park, the group was waiting. Pretty much made the regroups short and the pace a little quicker. Dino, Barry, Nam and kids took the short cut and we hooked up with them later.

    We all had to go around the lake cause the gate was closed. When we got to the tracks, Mike, myself and 3 others went while the others cut the course and went straight as we did on the first lap. We need 2 way radios!

    It was brought up that we should start the main loop to the 6:30/6:45 start cause it doesn't matter now what time we start, it's going to get dark anyway. Pipe in and lets see what you all think. This way, the early lap can finish by then and still roll out with the main loop. Lights are a must! Unless you're Rut. ;) (he even had a mini-mag light)

    Roscoes was fun! The band was very entertaining. Most of us stayed for 2 sets. Dino, CC and I left after Midnight.

    6:30 seems to be a good time. Does this work for you and family Traci?

    If it does, we will make it official now. Second loop starts at 6:30.

    I can't make the first loop so somebody else can chime in on that one.

    I think we are still trying to please the majority. :?: When we still had some decent daylight we were trying to please the ppl that don't have lights or don't want to ride in the dark. Now no matter what time we start we will be in the dark for the majority of the ride, so if we can accomodate more ppl by starting later, we can do that too. Any start time works for me so what ever is good for the majority is ok with me.
