Got an email from the Rebels that they will be riding up GMR on Sunday at 7 am. They are encouraging virgin GMR riders to ride. Gina has been thinking about giving GMR for a while and I've seem to have somehow talked her into this one. She's done the first 8 but never the 42 to the village. So I guess she's a semi-virgin!:D
She did the 8 on her old '84 steel Bianchi double. Now she'll be riding her new CF Pilot triple. Along with her new bike, elevated fitness level, and "my" all time low climbing form, she just may drop me in the mountains. Of course I'll be wearing a camelback, carrying two extra bottles for her, hauling some Nutter Butters, G-ade powder, and a shovel!
I'm just so excited being able to see her struggle a bit. Will tell if she has the drive to do a few organized centuries with me next year.
Couple of weekends ago, we did the SA Trail with Oldnewbie(Chuck). Near the end of the ride, I was holding 20-21 mph last 7 miles form the Arrowhead Pond. She was hanging tough with us and a tandem. At one point, I looked back to see if she was ok and still there. She had that Jan look on her face. The look when Lance looks back into Jan's eyes before he steps on the gas!
She had the same look on her face that Jan had. I swear she looked exactly like Jan! Man, it was beautiful!:p
Anybody else plan on being there? We'll be slow, but we're gonna try!
