I'd like to organize a group ride for Saturday. That afternoon looks to be the nicest of the next few days. Probably end somewhere we can have a beer.

Sounds good. I'm free from about 1:30 on.

I'm in and free anytime Saturday -- but, I would prefer a beer at the
halfway point and then again at the end... or maybe some chili at the
halfway point and a beer at the end... or... well, at least beer at the
end. I'll leave the planning up to you as long as you plan on some beer
at some point...

Geoff.

People,

It looks like Saturday afternoon works for me, too.

Forecast is mid  50s, south winds 10 to 15 with gusts around 25 mph. Hm, maybe I'll take the train to Mattoon and meet you all in Villa Grove!

BEER AND ICE CREAM RIDE?????

Ice cream in Sydney and beer in Pesotum?  If we meet at 1:30 and roll out as soon as possible, that gives us about 3 1/2 hours.  That's a 40ish mile ride.  We can swing that, right??

Now that I'm home and not collecting frequent flier miles, I've look at my schedule and realized that I have 1-5 pm commitments Saturday afternoon. Looks like you have a great ride planned but you'll have to go without me again, sorry to miss this. I'll run or ride on my own Saturday morning. If the rain doesn't materialize, the usual Sunday morning ride?

I'm out of town this weekend and won't make a ride, but I recommend alternative ice cream plans because the dairy barn is closed until April 13th.

People,

The forecast for Sunday morning is now looking quite good: mostly sunny with 9am temp of 49F and noon temp of 55F. 70% of precip in the afternoon.

I prefer Sunday morning to Saturday afternoon. I know that Michael can't ride Saturday afternoon and Carl is also busy Saturday afternoon. So I'm leaning toward Sunday morning now if some others will read then, too.

Remember move clocks ahead Saturday night. So Sunday at 9am will feel like 8am (but that's OK).

I only have time for one ride this weekend, and assuming it's as beautiful tomorrow as it's supposed to be, I have a slight preference for Saturday (and sunny & windy over cloudy & slightly less windy).  How many people would we have for tomorrow vs. Sunday?

Regardless what folks do on Saturday afternoon, I'll be riding Sunday
morning ...the usual drill with coffee at 8:45. If folks are up for it,
we could try for Flessor's in Tuscola. If folks need breakfast because
of the time change (really? already?), we could just go to the reopened
place in Sadorus and then ride on for chili for those really wanting a
"full" morning of riding.

I'm leaning towards the usual Sunday slot. Definitely want to ride but I can only do one of them.

I'm in for Sunday morning.  

May try to do a casual late afternoon ride to Philo today, 4ish...

Charlie, how long are you planning on going tomorrow?  I'm worried about time. :/  If you guys are leaving at 9am and doing 50+ miles to Tuscola with a long stop, it'll easily be 1-2pm when you get back.

Annie,

Like I said, we could break it up into 2 pieces with a stop in Sadorus
and then one group could return while those wanting a longer ride could
go on to Tuscola for lunch. I'm probably going to need to get back on
the early side myself as I need to get some gardening started before it
rains.

Hi All, 

How about moving the start time up to 8am?  The temperature is predicted at 36F by 7 am, so it will at least be that warm by 8am.  We could do more miles, eat, and be back by 12:30-1pm.

Best, 

Michael

It will feel like 7am....no way I'll be ready. I've got way too much yet
to do tonight...but others should feel free to get an earlier start.

Whenever we end up starting, I'll need to be home a little before 12. I can always turn back early, though.

That said, 8 feels a little early but I'll let you guys do the debating.

I could do 8am but I don't want to leave Charlie!  Could we compromise on 8:30am and Eric and I can be back before noon?
