Wow! Leave you guys alone for 12 hours & see what happens! I haven't met any of you & I think I like this group. I'll try the Flickr thing & see how it works. This multiple reply to all emailing is a bit cumbersome. And we'd better get off list before we further contribute to the depression of people in snow country.
We should discuss & fine tune the route, especially in deference to not knowing each others abilities & interests and to not deter the SS guys. Not being a SS rider I'm not sure how limiting that may be but lets take it into account. Someone else mentioned not wanting to do killer hills so we'll avoid Sleeping Indian. I'll check the Flickr & see you there. dougP _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Estes Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Rob Harvey; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [RBW] Re: Meet a new Rivendellian today! OK, there's a flickr group I set up real quickly... we can discuss date/time/logistics in that discussion area, but also post finalized info here on RBW. Anyone can view the flickr discussion, but you have to log in via a Yahoo account to contribute to it. http://www.flickr.com/groups/1007...@n22/ Let me know if there are any better ideas floating out there... :-) On Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 1:06 PM, David Estes <[email protected]> wrote: Just down the road, I think you have to go!

Friend Rob can be talked into his (I think). Esteban, you going to roll on the QB? Riding a QB with a bunch of geared bikes is not the most fun in the world for me... :-) I'm free anytime throug the 12th, so will let the rest of you come up w/ a good date/time. Should we start taking this conversation off list?

Hilly, but not heinous. I can join on my Quickbeam. I live in Coronado and can Coaster up to Oceanside. Rob On Dec 26, 2008, at 7:04 PM, Chris wrote: > > Doug's idea sounds good to me also.
