Is it too late to join? No one, no one joined mine.
But if I need a team jersey, I have no idea how to manage it.
Where do you train, and how fast do you ride? I should be up for training all out by Monday when the tonsils and pneumonia clear up. At least I caught it fast.

Can I just close my team and wander to yours? And does it matter that I'm doing the M200? I can still join, yeah?

***I just emailed R2CC and asked about dropping my team and joining yours. We'll see what they do.

We are just wearing the ride jerseys...I will be taking mine home and washing Sat night so am fresh again on Sun.

I can't get home. I think a friend is letting me shower, wash clothes, then i'll be back at camp for the night.
I have a feeling the 2010 jersey wll be too small at medium. I may be wearing the 2009 one.

They allow you to swap on the day of the ride if your shirt does not fit. I was talking to them the other day as they have me down for a large that is being shipped out to me.

OFlaherty · Senior Member

ah, want to swap a medium?
I'm wondering how long it takes to get the package. I checked in online a week or so ago.

Pm me and I'll give you me cell number. Text me at CNE grounds or before to let me know where to find you.

Anyone not Speedy Gonzalez want to go for a ride for fun on TUesday? It's raining all weekend adn I don't have rain gear, Monday I have an appt, but Tuesday I will be starting in Hamilton's west end, start of rail trail at Ewen Rd, and go to trail centre at 5.5 km, refill water, take pain meds, and go at least to the 18 km mark, Jerseyville road. I'd LIKE to make the 30 km mark and back, but i'm not fast at certain sections.

email catholiccyclist@live.com if you're interested. I won't get to the trail before 10, i hate riding to it, but just wondered if anyone at beginner/intermediate level was free and interested. I am SO TIRED of riding alone.

In one week you'll be riding with about 4,000 others. It will be an incredible feeling.

Hope the weather channel is wrong...

Rain or shine then. So far, it's said 20-23 degrees that weekend and not rainy. Then again, the weather network keeps changing forecasts from day to day. I've gone out on rides with no chance of rain and warned about sun, and been caught in wind, low temps and rain.
The weather network and I aren't friends.

I've been riding without the iPod so I'm adjusted to not having tunes. I don't LIKE it, but I'm adjusted to it.

I'm still hoping my K200 wristband doesn't cause problems. i'm in the M200 and they said "Just tell them you're in the M200...how many people crash that?"
