[19:26] <cmaloney> morning
[19:32] <greg-g> ahoy hoy
[20:09] <rick_h> party
[20:52] <mrgoodcat> is it morning?
[20:52] <mrgoodcat> where is cmaloney
[20:53] <mrgoodcat> rick_h: took delivery on the bike. proud owner of an obnoxious yellow santa cruz tallboy
[20:53] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  woot woot
[20:53] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  that was earlier than expected?
[20:53] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  so when are we riding?
[20:53] <mrgoodcat> it was about when I expected
[20:53] <mrgoodcat> i am down to ride any time
[20:53] <rick_h> oh I thought it was a fall thing
[20:53] <rick_h> ignore me then
[20:54] <mrgoodcat> i had to drive to GR to get it
[20:54] <rick_h> hah, well getting it > *
[20:54] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  how far is pontiac lake for you?
[20:54] <mrgoodcat> most shops were quoting me late fall or even early next year for new bikes, but this shipment apparently was one a shop in GR ordered in like january that had been indefinitely delayed
[20:54] <rick_h> cool, congrats
[20:54] <mrgoodcat> the guy called me and told me i could have one but i needed to decide that day
[20:54] <mrgoodcat> uh.... 30 minutes?
[20:54] <rick_h> lol, no pressure sales
[20:55] <mrgoodcat> ya lol
[20:55] <rick_h> I was going to go hit pontiac lake after work either wed or thurs if you're game
[20:55] <mrgoodcat> luckily for me I had already put a deposit down on a bike that would have been delivered in the fall, so he was calling to see if i wanted to switch to an R build in order to be able to get it sooner
[20:55] <mrgoodcat> so it wasn't like a cold call
[20:55] <rick_h> cool stuff
[20:56] <mrgoodcat> i'm probably in for that. wed might be wet depending on how much it storms tomorrow
[20:56] <rick_h> yea, have to play it by ear with the rain for sure
[20:56] <rick_h> but it also doesn't hold too much water it's so sandy and such
[20:57] <mrgoodcat> also with my legs. I am in a multi-week stretch of 50+ mile weeks and I need to give myself some rest eventually
[20:58] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  meh it's just a 10mi loop :)
[20:58] <rick_h> but yea, with the rain you'll get a couple of days off easy
[20:58] <mrgoodcat> so far i've only ridden highland and merril trail on the new bike
[20:58] <rick_h> cool
[20:58] <mrgoodcat> highland I only did A and B, not C or D
[20:59] <rick_h> I've not tried highland in a long time. It kicked my butt so hard I've not gone back
[20:59] <rick_h> but that was a couple of years ago now I guess
[20:59] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  anyway, if you're up for a ride give me a ping. Do you have my number or such?
[21:00] <mrgoodcat> don't think i do actually
[21:00] <cmaloney> mrgoodcat: it's morning somewhere.
[21:00] <mrgoodcat> ha
[21:18] <mrgoodcat> rick_h: either pm me your # or i'll reach out on here when we get closer
[21:18] <mrgoodcat> off to go ride now actually
[21:18]  * mrgoodcat tips hat
