Thompson bridge is open again, so Minnesota Loop is now possible.

Hmmm...

I also just wanted to post that this stupid clipper moved up a little in the forecast, so Sunday is now looking like it will have more ferocious winds (backside of the high pressure system, so think... we just had the front side coming through for those past couple windy days) so Sunday is currently FORECAST to be very windy again (gusts in the 30s).

SO! If you're planning to ride, I'd say that tomorrow is the day. (Sorry beek.) I'll go later with you if you want though?

Yeah. Ride is happening at 1pm today and tomorrow. I was just saying tomorrow will be windy, so come to this ride today because the ride tomorrow may be no good.

On account of the wind, and some hw that I hadn't anticipated I'm not riding today at 1pm.

I would assume someone else will still be there...

Road ride today departing at 5:15.  Wear a helmet and bring some food.  The more people we have, the easier it will be in this wind.  Post up if you have ideas or suggestions on pace.

 I was wanting to go on one road ride this week or next week, but didn't know how long these typically are. I don't know if I could last more than two hours......Also I obviously don't know how to ride my road bike very well and wouldn't mind some tips. Is there a better day of the week at all for newbies to go?

We definitely won't be out for longer than two hours, but if you're worried about lasting that long I would advise bringing food (raisins, clif bar, gummy worms, whatever) and as much water as you think you will need.  If we do Merrifield it will be around 25 miles.

With the weather getting chillier and the wind being as unpredictable as it is, my suggestion is to get out and ride while you can.  As long as the posted ride isn't a "training ride" or "hard ride," anyone is welcome to show up, even if they haven't ridden with us yet this year.

Lauren.
1. You should come out on this ride. Never waste an opportunity to ride or learn in this ND weather.
2. Beek I will accompany you on this ride as I am done failing my test for today.
3. Skip Radio, how you feeling?
4. Wind. Ugh...

Also, if it IS a training ride or a hard ride, you can still show up, but we won't wait for you, and we won't generally be happy if you can't hold your line. THESE ARE THE RIDES TO DO!

Plus. I haven't been hit by a sugar beet truck yet.

I am feeling pretty good after that ride on Saturday, once I ate some food I was good to go.  I was hoping I could go with you guys today but unfortunately have class until 6:00ish. 

Also dave, whenever you want you clips and shoes back let me know and thanks for letting me use them :)

I'll be riding down to volunteer at Northern Heights Rock Gym tomorrow and every other Wednesday.  I'll swing by the Union around 4:40 PM to see if anyone wants to ride down with me to go climbing.  If you've never ridden down, I can show you the optimal route; it's really not that far to go.
