[carl]

i plan on hitting blackwater this weekend. saturday morning would be best. i plan on bringing barbara so she and i will be going v e r y s l o w. all skill levels welcome.

[donalson]

you got a time?... thoughts on how long you'll be out there?

i'll have to drag my wife out one day... after i get her a bike that fits...

[carl]

maybe 9:00 ish. with barbara, time is questionable.

[Diomedes]

I might be there. Depends on how hard I party Friday night to celebrate finals being over. :D

Hey guys,

I've never been to Blackwater and I really don't have a clue how to get there. Could I possibly follow you out there Carl? Any time is good for me on Saturday.

goto milton...
from hw 90 go north on stewart st... in 0.8 miles turn right at the shell gas station (munson HW/oliver st)... go down munsion HW for 3 or 4 days and you think you are lost... (ok in reality it's only 11.6 miles) and turn right onto red rock rd... there is a small white country church at the corner... then go down 3.3 miles on red rock rd... park down by the creek... you'll cross a small bridge then there will be some sandy areas on both sides of the road right before you get to another slightly larger bridge...

all distances are based on what google maps told me :)...

Ugh never mind. I promised Dan that I would come to the Timberlake TT that Sunday to humiliate myself.

[carl]

winter solstice time trial? sounds pagan.

[lori]

Got goats?

[carl]

Got goats?

as a matter of fact...
there's some in the freezer. it's highly under rated.

[lori]

Do you climb better after eating goat?
There is a sort of irritating one at the stables where I board the horse. Maybe the night before the time trail....

[carl]

these are those fainting goats, which is why i pass out when i ride.

[Idoeyes]

that was funny.....Carl.......you so funny!:D

[lori]

Funny. I just saw some of those on the tube a couple of weeks ago. Don't let that happen on the downhills at Oak Mountain!

[streetcornerguru1]

Twas a nice ride. When I got home I realized why my knee was in agony the whole time. I forgot to tighten the seatpost clamp and my seat was just about 3 inches lower than it should be. I had fun though, you doing the group ride tomorrow at 2pm?

[carl]
