I have been on several butterlaps and my experience is that the folks are genuine, earnest, humble and mutually-supportive. It is an open ride: everyone is welcome, and I have felt most welcome and very included. One of the great aspects of SF is that there is diversity in the passions of the people -- people can can be passionate about fashion and cycling and many other things; these are not mutually exclusive. I find the comment by Anonymous to be disappointing and narrow-minded.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307630282309464200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271920444274938299.post-33826284420439545392010-07-15T11:43:16.290-07:002010-07-15T11:43:16.290-07:00Hi Meli!

Soon!<br /><br />Don't let Anonymous under your skin. I just went on a 7-day, 530-mile ride through the Rocky Mountains with 2000 other "dedicated cyclists" and there's just as much hostility directed at each other as there is towards the girls-who-ride-bikes-in-skirts crowd. Hostility about a girl being faster than them. Hostility about people pace-lining, or not pace-lining, or whatever they can find to whine about. Something about male insecurity and bike shorts, maybe? Hmm. ;-)<br /><br />Luckily there are also people who are warm and friendly and bad-ass all at the same time, like you! People who give social cycling an awesome name, who "get it" and inspire cyclists of any category.kathrynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271920444274938299.post-11262780221394345082010-07-15T00:36:39.471-07:002010-07-15T00:36:39.471-07:00J and I moseyed the whole Butterlap at a VERY leis...J and I moseyed the whole Butterlap at a VERY leisurely pace and it was awesome. Still got to enjoy the gorgeous sunset from Lands End, climbed to the Legion of Honor (and snacked!), coasted past the giant's fingernail moon and the ocean beach bonfires, and chowed down in the mission.Reesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271920444274938299.post-26249358544434153252010-07-14T22:01:08.836-07:002010-07-14T22:01:08.836-07:00?

LOL that you can't make a simple 15 mile ride but still find time to cop attitude at people that are dedicated cyclists. comments like this give social cycling a bad name. put your miles in, maybe you'll get it someday. <br />/sorely disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271920444274938299.post-85692916704892453442010-07-14T20:48:26.698-07:002010-07-14T20:48:26.698-07:00I wanna!I wanna!MandGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961629785452003493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271920444274938299.post-69906226368855613242010-07-14T14:08:22.808-07:002010-07-14T14:08:22.808-07:00ILT.ILT.calitexicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257014894653568163noreply@blogger.com
