Can I make a (modest) CM proposal: Can we roll out no later than 6:40p? Full disclosure here: I haven't done the ride in a while. So... perhaps I have no business saying anything (Ya know?). And perhaps the ride has -- of late -- been the very picture of Teutonic punctuality. But I've been there a few times (back in the hoary days of yesteryear in now fuzzy "aught-seven") when it just seemed like a "Seinfield" episode where we all waited around -- well after 6:30p and sometimes until 7p -- for something to happen. (I thought the "official" starting-out time was actually 6:30p.) What do y'all say we "cowboy up" and move out this time ('round 'bout 6:40p). MP
A (Modest) CM Proposal



also:
Apparently I sounded like a hateful rider last time because I was hoarse and yelling and probably a hateful rider, BUT can we please try to guide the mass to less neighborhoody roads? I keep seeing people struggling with the narrow and hilly streets and cause other riders (me) problems. Besides...it's a nice city to ride around...dark neighborhoods are not nearly as fun (imho).
whos "we"? The person that
whos "we"?
The person that gets mass started is the one that does that. If you want it to start earlier, just start yelling at people to go!
The person that takes control and directs it does it!
yah i no
But it helps if more than one person has the same idea.
sparks. that is the
sparks. that is the solution. i will be problem solving. yes.
Grab some friends and ride
Grab some friends and ride at the front. I've been known to do this from time to time. I am easily persuaded to follow people with sensible ideas.
