My apologies, but I can't ride on Thursday this week. My grandson is still "due any minute" (damned obstetrician), and I have a couple of late afternoon meetings that don't end until 5:30.  I would really like for the rest of you to plan a ride and in the event (unlikely, but still possible), that everthing works out and I could join you.

In any case, enjoy the day!  See you soon.
