Folks,
This weekend is my last chance to ride for two weeks ( I will instead be eating Gelato in Milan). So here are my plans.
Saturday I will be leaving my house about 9:00 am to get back to those wonderful hills in Kirkwood. By now everyone knows the route, so if your legs needs a few climbs and fifty or so miles, join me.
Sunday I will be riding for Strawberries and Shortcake with Trailnet. I hope to start the ride at 9:00 am. This year I hope I don't spend the ride with broken shifters waiting for everyone to return.

Saturday Alternative....or I am not Insane Ride
Folks,
I assume most of you are insane and will be attempting (and failing) to ride the Grand Fondo

I assume most of you are insane and will be attempting (and failing) to ride the Grand Fondo
The Mondo Fondo- 132 miles, snaking from Augusta, Missouri to Hermann, Missouri and back. With 11,000 feet of climbing the grapes won't be the only thing whining.So for those like me, both cheap and sane. I will be riding from my house about 9:00 am. To celebrate sanity the ride will head out to St. Charles and New Town. We will ride about 50-60 miles, and dine on Groupons at the 2nd Street Bike Shop and Cafe.

Old Kentucky Home Tour where Roark Will be instead of MS150!
Folks,
Last year I road the Old Kentucky Home Toeur (OKHT) with the Bradys. All I can say is a great ride, and thats with Mike and myself bailiing and only doing the 72 mile route. So this year I plan to go back and enjoy the Boubon infused caramels again. If your interested let me know and I will try to get enough hotel space at a reasonable space for the group. The ride description follows.
Roark
The 34th Annual Old Kentucky Home Bicycle Tour, (aka OKHT), is a two-day ride departing from E.P."Tom" Sawyer Park in Louisville,Ky. on Saturday, September 10th, with 3mileage routes to historic Bardstown, Ky.
A 50-mile, 72-mile, and a very challenging 102-mile century, which includes the legendary Pottershop Hill ! It is the winner of the League of American Bicyclists Best Century award.
On Sunday, September 11th, there are two routes from Louisville. The 25 mile short route goes out to the Fern Creek Fire Station and back to Sawyer Park. The 50-mile, single-day loop goes out to our FAMOUS " Homemade Cookie Stop" sag stop and joins up with the 2-day riders coming back from Bardstown for the return ride back to Sawyer Park via a gorgeous scenic route.

BikeMO 2011 Fall Harvest & Pumpkin Ride - Oct 15, 2011
All,
We will not be doing the MS ride this year, but that is where Amanda and her friend, Alex, were able to meet up the last couple of years and ride together. We've found an alternative and wanted to see if anyone else is interested in joining. I don't know a lot about it, but here's some of the info that I have:
Sat Oct 15, 2011 9am - http://www.bikemo.org/ - (registration not yet available for 2011, but you can check out stuff from the 2010 ride on the website) - The Missouri Bicycle Federation Presents BikeMO 2011 Fall Harvest & Pumpkin Ride. Ride day registration is $35/person. This fundraiser ride for the MO Bicycle Federation takes place each October and offers 17, 32, 62, and 100-mile routes in the beautiful rural countryside of Mid-Missouri at Holts Summit. Holts Summit is located five miles north of Jefferson City on US Hwy 54. The ride begins and ends at the Holts Summit Plaza shopping at the Route AA/OO exit off of US Hwy 54. The street address is 154 W. Simon Blvd., Holts Summit, MO 65043.
Please let me know if you are interested and we can coordinate.
Thanks.
