  Hee, hee,

  Back in the historical times - B.C. (Before Children) I suppose if I were riding alone, flat and no wind 18-20mph.  These days (Oldest is 5 now) probably closer to 16mph on my own.  These days I only get dirty......ahhh, no, never mind.  Road riding is my thing.  I'd love to have you along for a ride.  Being 5'5" on a good day, it'll be nice to not have to look up at all the other riders for a change.  ;-]

    Oh good grief Bill. What kind of pace do you ride at (typical cruising speed - flat ground, no wind for tens of miles). It sounds like John Formosa would likely spin circles around me. I typically cruise in the 16 to 18mph range - a couple mph faster if I am drafting other riders.

    Or are you the dirt-type?

        Well, let's see...... I'd love to go for a bicycle ride up in Michigan...... but I'm riding my motorcycle from Florida up to the convention. Hmmmmm, how could I possibly swing both?????




        When do we start pedaling?

          John,

          Part of me wishes I was going to the convention, but the physical part of me will be on a cycling trip in the Sierra Nevada!  Have fun, maybe next time we can hook up.  If you ever come out here to the Bay Area for a convention/conference, definitely bring the bike!

          Keep riding

          I'll probably be bringing my road bike to the GR convention. Anyone up for a ride?   


          My average speed right now is about 16+ mph on the hilly roads of north Mississippi. I'll probably be up to 16.5 - 17.0 by July.  Flat roads I could probably do at least 19-20 average. But I don't know for sure since we don't have flat roads here. :-)


          If anyone knows of some good off-road routes in the GR area, I'd be up for that too. Can bring my mountain bike as well.


          Let me know privately at formsma at gmail.com.
