I think you might be seeing an old post, there is no ride posted for the 10th

That is bike night back when bike nights were on Tuesday. Now they are on the second Tuesday of the month. The calendar has not been updated to the new bike night schedule. There usually aren't any rides associated with bike nights. Bike nights are where we get to know each other since we don't usually have time to do that on rides.

I think Miles should lead a ride on the 10th. Make it happen.

hmmm, thought I had deleted all those old bike night dates.

You're more than welcome to ride to bike night and hang out with us. Depending on the weather some ride but most have been caging it lately. Next bike night will be the 12th.

So, temperatures matter on whether you ride or not? Are you talking about sport bikes, dirt bikes, or vintage bikes? What does Plano have to do with you riding? :-)

Yea temp matters these days, all bikes. And just getting to the starting point from north Plano. Is an hour 15min. So it does out a damper on things

Ride leaders can choose their start point. Just saying.

I don't see the issue. We have done many rides north east of the metroplex and it took us 2 hours to get to the start point...we still rode. We like riding (outside of the city) so we know and are willing to make the time sacrifice for what we enjoy. :)

Some people just see the extra 2 hours or so as bonus ride time. Some people actually like to ride .... but some apparently would rather just talk about the cool bikes they have while sipping starbucks :HeadScratch:

Yeah, I hate that part. There is a chain where I used to live that has a mint mocha that is awesome. Then I found out a medium was over 400 calories.
But back to the subject at hand... How living in Plano sucks the joy out of your life.
