Specialized BicyclesRide start has been moved to 9:30am. Date is still May 22. Nick doesn't want to have to wake up early.
Actually, I was supposed to do some work from home at 4am, but it got moved back to 8am. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but this is affecting my riding. I should be done in time for the ride, but I might have to meet you somewhere along the route. I plan to drop cue sheets off at the shop, but you might want to print out your own cue sheets - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/33685748#notes
Here are the files for those who want to download to their GPS.
Thanks to everyone for coming out. Sorry I could only ride the last 50, but I had a great time. 6 riders total - Matt and Turbo completed the full century, Berry probably got in around 80, Nick and Robby completed 60.
We averaged 14.8 the last 50, which is pretty good considering the low gearing I was running, steep hills, rough gravel, getting rained and hailed on, and having to slow down so Berry could catch up.
We should have pictures and maybe even some video posted later. Thanks again to Matt's wife Nicole for providing SAG and taking pictures.

Got hailed on? Glad I pulled the plug when I did.
That was a good ride. Thanks Stoney.

I have some pics posted on my facebook page. Awesome time. Glad we had our helmets on during the hail storm. Stoney, is there a way to post an album directly on the blog?

Thanks for letting me tag along. Sorry I couldn't make the whole thing, but I did get the grass mowed before the storm. The 61 I did was a blast.

Matt, if you have the Google Toolbar installed you can try going to your facebook albums, right-click on the image for the album and select Share, then select "Typepad". It will take you to the Typepad login screen, but I got an error page after that. I notified Typepad, but I doubt they'll get it fixed any time soon.

I didn't really know what to put as the backround music for the video so it just kinda winded up that way. i figured it would be annoying to listen to the wind blow the hole time. it's not great, but it's something.

Turbo-if you can take the hard copy of the video and put them on an external drive, my wife would love to have that. She didn't get the greatest video clips...with the exception of you clipping her foot on the Katy.
Posted by: matt | May 23, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Does she want each individual video that i included in that or does she want to whole thing with the music and everything?
Posted by: turbo | May 23, 2011 at 06:07 PM
turbo-i think the individual videos. we'll be at the dirty kanza meeting tonight. don't know if you'll be at the shop. i can even bring a hard drive. thanks.
