    Done.

    FYI: since you set yourself up as a vendor, we have to pay the Paypal overhead.

    Bring clothes that you are OK with getting wet in.

    This also means either do not bring electronics (cell phone, camera, etc) or bring a watertight container to keep them in. There were a few devices that got a bit waterlogged last year :)

    Also, paid.

    The total mileage is 14.5, and we will pace at around 8-10mph. We have plenty of time to finish the route, so there will be time for breaks and such. The total cycling time should be no more than 1.5 hours, which gives us about 30 minutes for breaks and stopping.

    I have my doubts that we can cover all of this AND take breaks in 1.5 hours. I'd say this is closer to 2+hours with a group that's taking breaks/fuckin' around. just saying! ;P

    Norm, reality check: It's going to take way more than 1.5 hours.

    GHoosdum said he has a bike that I can borrow so I will not need a bike.

    RIP Ghoosdum's bike.

    I used to do this with Google Checkout. But they've discontinued it. I don't like Paypal and I'm open to suggestions for something else.

    Agreed. I was going to use my discretion at Belle Isle as to whether or not we go around the entire island or cut it down to half.

    Didn't Google Wallet replace Checkout? Also, there's Dwolla

    replacements

    Square Cash is free, requires only an email and debit card and you can send/receive $250 without providing any info in a given week or up to $2500 by providing a nominal amount of information (last 4 of SSN, full name)

    Google Wallet is for payments only, not for receiving payments. AFIK. I'll check out Dwolla.

    This is cool because I already have a Square account and it was easy to setup. If anyone wants to use Square Cash, pm me your email and I'll send you a request.

    The forecast is calling for thunderstorms at 10am. I'm going to keep my eye on the weather report for changes.

  • djmephdjmeph Detroit Icrontian

    Is there anyone else that wants to ride with us? We are now one bike short of the discount for bike rental.

  • SignalSignal Icrontian

    Would we still get the discounted price if everyone chipped in a couple dollars for a ghost bike?

  • RyanFodderRyanFodder Detroit, MI Icrontian

    I was thinking of bringing a bike, but I can rent one instead. Sending cash bucks.

  • djmephdjmeph Detroit Icrontian

    @Signal‌ We got three more riders now, we're all set.

  • djmephdjmeph Detroit Icrontian

    The weather is looking a little bit better for tomorrow. I still expect there to be some showers, but no T-storms. Mostly cloudy, and there is a chance that it won't rain at all.

    @FettBacon‌ just joined, I need to get all bike orders in by this afternoon. If there's anyone else that wants to go, let me know before 3pm. Thanks!

    Didn't read thread.

    Helmets this year people!!!!!! If all organized rides have a default rule for everyone wearing a helmet you should always wear one period.

  • primesuspectprimesuspect Beepin n' Boopin Detroit, MI Icrontian

    Not all organized rides have a default rule for everyone wearing a helmet, not by a longshot.

    Are the helmets included in the price?

    Edit: Just asked, helmets **are **included in bike rental.

    I will be bringing my dry bag and a towel... JUST in case.

    Things could get wet.

    Thanks, everyone! What a great ride! The best yet! The wheels are already turning on next year's ride.

    Also, I think the bike tour is now officially a tradition. :-)
