Night of the Mechanicals

     Well the weather sure took a bit of a dip.  Apparently the temperature put a little scare into Jeremy, who sent out a "is anybody riding email?".  Of course we were riding.  However, since Jeremy wanted to keep his attendance as close to 100% as possible he showed up.  Mind you with a flat tire.  Flat tire fixed, off we go but no.... Jeremy forgot his jacket.
     We decided to do Morton then possibly Malden.  It became quickly apparent that Malden would be out of the question as the curse of the bike problems quickly fell upon us.  Jeremy had another flat.  Jim forgot to recharge his lights and therefore had no lights and Liam's lights decided that brown was the best colour for trail riding.
     So we went slow, with a lot of stops, looked out for each other and stayed together.... unlike some of our road rides.
     Apparently people are not receiving the automated emails from my blog posts (or even bothering to read them).  Hence people are showing up not realizing it is their turn for beer.  This is a serious and unexcusable error.  Beer order is regularly posted and I also finish my entries with upcoming beer order.  Please be aware when it is your turn for beer or we will start calling you Rod.
     We signed a card tonight for Mehul for his hospitality on our weekend this summer.  Instead of getting him a gift certificate, he asked that our money be donated to his trip to Kenya next year.  He is going to Kenya to help out and donate his time to the less fortunate.
     As for how long the season goes..... the consensus so far seems to be until temps are around 40 degrees.  It was 48 at the start of the ride and once we got going we were plenty warm... except Jeremy who had to warm his toesy-woesy in his car at the end of the ride.
