Thursday Night, 9/14, cancelled
First Thursday night Collinsville ride of the year, this week leaving the parking lot next to Lasalle Deli at 6:00 PM. We will have daylight for much of the ride, but headlights and blinkies are required. (Great time to rig everything up and make sure it's working before it really gets dark.) CX bike is best, MTB is fine, and if you are daring--or Rob Martin(1)--you could ride a road bike.
Route? Who knows for sure but we'll be back in under 2 hours. Pace will be Sunday Shop Ride style. No one gets dropped and pain will be minimal. There will be very little traffic and lots of dirt. Pat will try to make us do a route that he created as an original night ride member(2) and I will try and pull Executive Privilege as Past President(3) and steer things my way. See the Fall Night Rides topic for possibilities.
(1) Circa 2005.
(2) Pat joined the club 7 years after the ride started.
(3) The only EBCC members President before me? George Washington and Tom Quinlan.
Let the games begin..... Please, please, please someone else show up so the towns of Canton, Burlington and New Hartford don't have to listen to Wayne and me bicker for two hours.
I will be joining this ride but can't make it this week.

Evil Weather Overlord predicts dampness.
Was planning on it but now I see 80% chance of rain at 6:00. I'll plan on the next ride when I get back.
Doug or I will...or maybe even both of us, will join you. Let's see the weather for tonight. We will be there for future Thursday rides and the post ride food and drinks...so don't forget to bring your clothes, unless, of course you adhere to chamois time is training time!
Rain is looking pretty likely. Let's start this ride up next Thursday. 6:15 from Collinsville.
Naturally, as soon as I mention rain the forecast clears.
I will likely do this route from home, connecting at Benney/Stub Hollow is anyone else is still thinking about it.
