I have gotten several emails expressing concern that we scheduled
tomorrow's women's ride on yom kippur. I was aware of this and as
most of you can probably tell from my profile, I'm Jewish.

Anyway, my apologies to those of you that might feel offended.
Scheduling anything in OBRAland is tricky and we tried to avoid as
many conflicts as possible. The ride also conflicts with a new
criterium that has a pretty spectacular payout for ladies (who knew
that there would be a criterium in late september?!)

Anyway, if you are going to temple or the crit or stracrossed and are
able to meet at Kettleman's at 9 for introductions, etc before the
ride, that would be great. We won't force you to eat bagels if you
are fasting.

Sorry to those of you that can't make it.
