FLCC> [BHV] saturday ride

Fri Mar 6 17:49:34 EST 2009

OK, ride tomorrow 9:00 AM starts at Mecklenburg 
Park and ride.   Early season reasonable pace. 
Possible scenario: South toward HorseHeads West on 
Johnson Hollow looping down to Montour Falls back 
to Meck in some round about way.  Open to other 
suggestions.  Emanuel has offered to host post 
ride festivities.  BYOB.  Hope to see you there.

   By the way, Mark, we are counting on you to be 
there to act as our local "just another wonderful 
ride" guide.  Let us know if you are successful in 
pressuring Emanuel and Holly into hosting an 
unplanned and impromptu get together.  In the 
meantime we'll plan on the Grist Mill post ride.

    OK.  Mecklenburg Park and Ride 9AM.  I take it 
the Mectapus is the intersection of 228 and 79 and 
CR 6.

    Grist Mill Cafe in Burdett is open until 3PM 
according to phone message, and the food is good, 
worth the extra the little drive at the end for 
the Ithacans.  Beer drinkers will have to byob.  I 
will have a few cans of the black, Irish stuff.

      Mecklenburg is half way between Watkins and 
Ithaca on Rt 79. Its so small that you can't miss 
the Park and ride which is on one of the spokes of 
the Mectapus (its a 5 way intersection).  I've got 
to work after the ride so I suggest the cafe in 
Burdett post ride...or we can con Emanuel Cestero 
into hosting post ride festivities.  Ruth thinks 
she is under pressure, but its just another 
wonderful ride.

        I've got a pot roast, ready for eating. 
Will feed at least eight.  If you can provide an 
oven to heat it and warmth and shelter for the 
post ride, and can get a commitment from Don on 
the beer, maybe we've got a go for the Meklenburg 
par and ride.  But you've got to tell us where it 
is.

          Since Ruth is on the fence...Ride 
tomorrow morning 9:00 AM meeting at the 
Mecklenburg Park and Ride.  Covenient to all 
points considered.  Ruth is the ride leader. Don 
is bringing a keg. Bill Lodico is bringing his 
barbecue grill. We'll ride early and beat the 
rain.

            Another option would be Blaine's 
house - kind of in between Elmira and Ithaca. 
Plenty of beer and good food there :-)

              You win, Ruth, after brief consult 
with Blaine.

              Cost of winning is that you have to 
be the ride leader and pick a good route.

              Only condition is that finish must 
be near good food and good beer.

              9 AM start gets us in before 
promised chance of rain.  Tell us where to meet.

                    rain is promising to arrive in 
small increments starting about 1pm
                    Saturday.  Pace (for me and 
several likely participants) likely to be
                    determinedly not-so-fast, but 
with plenty of hills)

                    My inclination is to aim for 
something in the 40 to 50 mile range
                    starting around 9PM.

                    Elmira, Ithaca, or Watkins 
start OK from my point of view.

                    Thoughts?
