I'm looking forward to the next ride. It could be fun biking down to t-town, and it would help quell any urges to bike further or faster during the ride :-)<br /><br />I also finally got some pics up, if you'd like to check 'em out.<br /><br />Also, looking at the picture of the old CCM I can really see how the steer tube and probably head tube is bent, even after bending the forks back into ride-able position. Poor old girl. Did I tell you I'm going to name her Poplar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473788350177581335.post-23662223159438178182010-06-15T20:36:29.817-06:002010-06-15T20:36:29.817-06:00Great idea!

I guess by extension all us girl bike bloggers belong to the same gang. =) When's your next Lovely Sunday Ride?<br /><br />Fiona and Judy: let's not wait until August, yeah? Let's have a smaller ride sooner. Perhaps a Pashley-warming-party ride. =D<br /><br />As @miss sarah mentions, we're thinking we might try a suburban ride for the next CL in August, probably in my neighborhood, just to prove that we can! Bike on train would be totally doable. I'm not sure how long it would take to ride 23rd Ave from Heritage to T Towne but there is a nice wide sidewalk the whole way (I should check if it's meant to be multiuse but it certainly is used by lots of cyclists). I'm aching to try the bucket bike. Yes, please! And it would be so sweet to have more kids at the next one! Dexter was super cuddly yesterday.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979321317873788140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473788350177581335.post-89362863738536885682010-06-14T22:52:20.431-06:002010-06-14T22:52:20.431-06:00@Dottie: the whole background is in our prior post...@Dottie: the whole background is in our prior posts. We came up with the Critical Lass name, as a play on Critical Mass (you'd be surprised how many people we had to explain it to). However, our models for pretty-girls-in-pretty-outfits-on-pretty-bikes came from all the girl bike bloggers like you, describing going for rides with impeccably dressed girlfriends to great little local shops and cafes. It was originally conceived as something on that sort of scale. But when we started talking about it on twitter it quickly became apparent that there were a LOT of girls locally who were interested in coming. We didn't really mean to exclude the dudes, but in retrospect I guess the language we used is pretty girls-night-out, so I can understand why they didn't come.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979321317873788140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473788350177581335.post-22334845142251579322010-06-14T22:11:44.293-06:002010-06-14T22:11:44.293-06:00Great post!

And I could take the bucket bike on the train, then ride the rest of the way! We could take turns having the moms tow their kids. Nothing more suburban than towing kids...Miss Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01390795013644405649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473788350177581335.post-34860758179407210942010-06-14T21:13:57.529-06:002010-06-14T21:13:57.529-06:00Yay!
