Sunday ride - March 29 - part two

OK - the votes are in, but the weather looks pretty iffy (as in SH#%Y).

How about we meet (with bikes) at Lone Wolfe in Chesterfield at noon? We can have brunch / nurse some coffee for a bit and see how it goes. I'd say we roll by 1:00. If the roads are too wet, we just drink coffee. We can work our way to Fox and the Hound on or off bikes later in the day.

With a little luck we roll at 1:00 and get in 30 miles, and still catch some basketball around 3:00.

Lone Wolfe coffee in Chesterfield - Clayton and Kehrs Mill - west of Baxter Rd and on the south side of Clayton Rd.

If noon is too late, let me know - I'm still flexible. But I think we may need an extra hour to see if the streets will dry off.

Ride Sunday, March 29?

Anyone up for a ride Sunday? The weather looks like it will clear off Sunday morning, but it will be a bit cool until around noon. I'd be up for about anything. If you don't like my suggestions below, throw out another idea - I'm pretty flexible, I just want to get out.

Maybe some hill work in the valley? We could meet at Kaldi's in the valley at 11:00-ish for a late brunch - then roll at noon. It might be a bit brisk right at noon, but it will be in the 40's, so not too bad. I'm thinking maybe about a 30-40 miles ride.

For any NCAA basketball fans, I was also thinking we could finish the ride with a stop at the Fox and the Hound for post-ride carbs and catching the last of the Elite Eight games.

If you don't like the above idea, I'd be happy with a city / Forest Park type ride, or a start at Roark's / Kirkwood type ride too. I'll do anything!

Let me know, or call,

Sunday Ride

Its not much notice, but I spoke with John, and he and I are up for a ride tommorow morning. Its going to be a short one, because my spawn just got back in tonight from Florida, and he flies out Monday morning to Coloardo. Ah the life of a seventeen year old.

The plan we ride from my house at 10:15. I will of course be spinning early morning. We can play where we are going when we leave. I would like to be back about 2:00 pm so I can spend some time with the spawn.

March 14-15 Rides

Looks like the weather this weekend will be cooler, yet less windy. I plan to ride both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday I am thinking 10:30 am from my house over to do the Hills of Kirkwood. Ron and I added Timberlake backwards from Marshall Hill's Base Last Weekend. Its a heck of a climb.
Figure 45 miles.

Sunday, once again starting at 10:30 am, I am going to attemp the Crooked Tree Loop. Figure 40 miles.

Here is the current weather forecast:
Saturday: Mostly cloudy skies with a few showers later in the day. High 54F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
Sunday: Showers possible in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the mid 30s.

Thanks,
Roark

March 7-8th Rides

Folks,

I am sitting here in my hotel room in San Antonio. It hit 80 today so I am thinking about riding, before I head over to the River Walk.

So I checked our local weather and Saturday and Sunday might have rain, but the temperatures will be in the high sixties.

I haven't posted a ride from my house in a long time, so that's about to change.

Saturday I plan to leave my house at 10:30 am to hit the Hills of Kirkwood, followed by a run up Grants Trail into the City. If you want to join let me know.

Sunday I am thinking of riding from my house over to Crooked Tree In St. Charles.

Figure 40-50 miles each day.
