Tour de Palm Springs
It's 11 days away and nobody has started a thread on this yet? This is normally very well-represented by this group. Man, what's happened to the SoCal contingent of C/A's?
Is anyone doing this? I'm not. I'm in worse shape than normal, and that's sayin' something!

I'm not doing it, I will be out of town 4 days this weekend, and our club's annual meeting is on the 21st, so figured I'd skip it. I do know a number of people going.
I figure if I'm going to get in the car and travel, I should try new rides instead of repeats, there are so many available. Looking at Wildflower or Eroica this year (friend has a vintage bike I can borrow). These rides are on the same weekend this year.
Probably do Breathless Agony again. Don't know why.....

low of 40s, high of 70 and only 8mph winds. Should be pleasant for those doing it. I'm not signed up this year so have fun!!

I'm skipping this year. 
Too much going on (would you PLEASE move it back to February!!!) and in miserable shape too.

Non omnino gravis
I'll say the same thing this year that I did last-- I ain't payin' nobody 70 bucks to ride a loop around Palm Springs.
