Aug 20 ride? - meet at ladd's casa
We all need a long ride. How about Adrian / Nyssa? What's more fun than riding to Oregon? I'm sure we can work out a route of 100 or so. Could come back on SouthSlope and finish on Old Freeze Out, or maybe turn back sooner and hit Old El Paso...
I can't handle Matt's schedule, I'm still happier with 6:30. Who's interested?

Sample idea...
I just whipped up a test route... I think coming back via Emmett would add quite a few more miles... this route happens to land right at 100.
Kaboom
Would the world end if I came along?
who's bringing the cake?
This will definitely be a party! We must celebrate Chris visiting our side of town!
If Chris is in, then I am in.
Looking forward to the ride and riding with Chris is a huge bonus!
I'm in!
Missed the ride last Saturday but I'll be there for this one. The perfect finish would be a refreshing dip in a swimming pool. I wonder if anybody in the club owns one?
I'm in (at least for some)
Unfortunately I am out despite the fact that I desperately need a long ride. I have to be at the airport to pick up Dylan at noon. But I'll definitely start with the group and then peel off after a couple of hours.
McKinlay Option
With a newborn at home, but the need for a long ride, I have no other choice than to ride during what would otherwise be prime sleeping time! Ah, the sacrifices we make for our children :).
I know few - if any - will be interested in this option, but I'm going to plan to leave at 5 and ride Cartright or something and then meet up with this group at 6:30. I'll ride with the group until ~8:30 and then turn around to be home by 10:30.
Count me in
This can't be any worse than last Saturday can it? With Rob blowing things up going past Firebird and then the sprints along Floating Feather I felt almost superhuman to have finished with the group last week.
Awesome
Last weekend was a challenge for me and this one sounds just as fun. I'm in. Lets ride.
Yum
Plus, there is no sales tax when we stop at the A&W for ice cream in Nyssa! Tour de Food Chris is with me on this, right?
Sounds like at least 10 from Team Reel, PLUS: DNA!
Craig is bringing a bunch of DNA folks! Sweet, huh? I seriously think I'll be able to go 100 miles without a single trip to the front...
Anyway, we are going to be a force to be reckoned with. I hope the store in Nyssa doesn't run out of ice cream.
...with so many....
shouldn't we go longer? Something to think about; 100 won't feel very long with such a big group and no hills like last week. Just a thought.

agreed
We can always add more to the end based on who's left and what we want to do.
Where?
Where are we meeting? Ice Cream in Nyssa sounds great. I wonder what flavor of ice cream goes best with my V8???
meet at my house
sorry, I guess I never mentioned that part!
More...
I am bringing a couple of South Siders as well. Just to clarify, we are meeting at Ladd's at 6:30, right?
Fun!
Thanks for the great ride today, gents! Although I didn't do the full loop, I had a blast riding with such a large group. It was good hooking up with the DNA guys too, we need to do that more often.
Sorry about the explosive pull before I turned around. . . I realize now that was poor form!
Ditto
That was a lot fun today. Thanks for a great day on the bike.
Agreed
These long rides with larger groups have been a blast. We need to continue this pattern in the future. They will make us mega strong, or at least moderately strong. I also agree the DNA guys are fun to ride with and we should hook up with them more often.
Attack!
I just attacked again.
Great Ride
Once again it was a great ride. Thanks for putting it together. It was awesome to ride with such a large group. Each weekend seems to be more of an epic ride or accomplishment for me. Great Experience.
Matt, We always expect a strong pace when you are at the front. No need to worry.
