Whoops - S/B tittled Wed "NIGHT" FLAGSHIP RIDES - but I think you all got it    (sorry - rushed)

Remember to have lights on your bikes for safety

[Riley]

If the weather holds off and we are able to ride tomorrow night, please remember to bring lights (both front and rear).  It starts getting dark before we finish.

Also please remember to bring I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency information).  A great option to consider is an emergency information ID tag or braceleet (Amanada and I, respectively, were wearing them last week) like you can get from Road ID (www.roadid.com).

Rev on

Just heard from Dessa.  As of right now the ride is on.  Looking at the radar, there is a chance we may get rained on before we finish.  Please make sure to bring lights.

[Riley]

Unless you hear otherwise, the ride is on for to night.  Weather looks fanastic.  Please remember to bring lights and your in case of emergency information.

put important stuff in ziplocs just in case

[Riley]

Unless you hear otherwise, ride should be on tonight.  The weather looks good.

[Riley]

Please remember that wheels are supposed to ROLL at 6 pm.  That means you need to be there early enough to get your shoes on and bike out before we roll.

Rev on!
