What a great turn-out! It turned out to be a beautiful day - a little drizzle at first but then the sun cam out for the rest of the ride. A great, diverse route going through Medina and up Bridle Trails...

Fab ride - great weather (at least for December) and great riding companions. Ended up with 16 total riders!! This was a fun course - we will be re-riding on New Year's Day as well.

Sounds like fun even with a 2000 foot elevation gain. I have made some other commitments for that day. Enjoy yourselves!

For those inquiring minds who want to know, Whoop-te-do according to http://www.merriam-webster.com/
... can be:
1) noisy and exuberant or attention-getting activity (as at a social affair or in a political campaign)
2 a lively social affair; or
3 agitated public discussion or debateOn this ride, we're shooting for #2 - a lively social affair!!

While the rain has been torrential on Thursday so far, the weatherman is predicting better weather for Sunday - they are showing showers and sunbreaks! Normally we would cancel the ride in the event of the end of the world but we really need to get this one in so, while we are planning for the Mayan prediction not to come true, we will probably ride even if it does.
