    You could live in a van... down by the river.

    I have four children, two of whom are quite young (Lucas just turned 1!) and as I love my wife and kids, I enjoy spending time with them and consider myself lucky to be married and have kids who depend on me and love me. I'm glad that they let me ride sometimes. They do that because they see how happy it makes me. So, I don't mind at all taking a day or two off the bike on the weekend to pay attention to people who love me. That's just how I roll, I guess. It's all good!

    We'll see what happens. My XO just said something about how I could ride both days. I'll see if that holds. She might feel differently Saturday night. And, as she is generally very kind to me, I feel inclined to let her change her mind if she desires. (Plus, I sorta like her and enjoy being married and would like to buck the statistics on divorce and all that.) :D

    I am, dude, that's why I have to respect her. Otherwise, she might turn surly, and not in the good way like she'll change into a retro steel frame. :)

    lol, yeah, I got a significant other and she lets me ride all the time because she knows how important it is to me. No kids to worry about though....yet. So I'm riding whenever I can. For now, my bikes are my kids so i guess that makes me lucky!

    Nah, dude, I don't fight. I mean, we could "fight" but you'd only win so let's just say we fought and you kicked my ass and I regret talking about your Surly . :)

    Yep. If you want a few less miles you can start at Yorba Park at the south end by the baseball diamond. We should be there only a few minutes, if anyone else wants to join in here, just putt around in this area and you'll find a bunch of people on bikes, that will be us.Yorba Park is the park that parrells the bike path (SART)

    Doing the 60 from green river to the beach and back does not seem long at all, all or nothing! I will try and get to the golf course a little early just because i hate being late. Look for me at about 7:15am.

    Well, I guess I'm in for this ride, now. It looks like the Saturday ride fell through. Are we riding to the trail from Fontana?

    Gurp, that'll give us over 100 and we would have to start in the dark. I think I'll drive this time.
