My bosses are asking if I would stay in San Antonio to get some more work done. I think I am going to tell them I can't because I must ride urban assault back in Philly. They should understand. What day are you riding? Sunday would be better for me if I come back.

Riding would be great here. If I had a bike. And it wasn't all flat. And I was not working 16 hours a day....Sorry for venting. I'll shut up now.

I will go either day, which ever has better weather... I like to either ride from my house, if it's nice out, or drive down and park at East Falls. Ride down Kelly Dr and check out the nice women  :o  Then hit the Art Museum and do a little free riding, but nothing crazy. Then we usually head into down town and zig zag through traffic and go nuts, because I'm silly, silly I say! Then we stop somewhere to eat some food and drink some beers, and that's when it gets interesting... Usually like 2-3 hour excursion...

OK, looks like Saturday is gonna be a balmy 39 degrees, Sunday a little cooler with chance of snow/ice... SO, let's shoot for Saturday at 12:30. We can change this if necessary, but it's a good starting point. Let's meet at the parking lot on Kelly Dr. right next to the Strawberry Mansion Bridge. Post up if you don't know where that is... Whaddya think? Oh, and where is Tom Coyle?!?!?!?!

I'm gonna ride free bird! Kidding! Drive down Kelly Dr from East Falls, and as soon as you go under big bridge with steel rafters (Strawberry Mansion Bridge) look for lot on the right.... We will be cruising around town and enjoying everything, ya know stopping to smell the roses, but also try to get some exercise... How's your wounds?

Two knuckle-head PMBA members showed up at my house and demanded that we ride, so we did. I am glad they persuaded me because it was awesome!!! Some Heffe Weisen beers and burgers at Copa 2 hit the spot!
