When LanceOldStrong blew a cable we stopped at a bike shop. MyLilPony found a jacket she "needed." Who could even think "no?"

Just an old Fuji F31. But I like to think it's me and not the camera. :D

Curtis, thanks a lot for putting together a great ride! it was nice meeting you finally and Matt (a real crankin machine). Couldn't have been a more perfect day, newly paved roads, temps just right with lots of sun.

And taxi777 you were missed today.

Sounds like you had a great ride.
I am confused though, was the ride yesterday or today? I thought it was today. If it was yesterday I would have joined and we sure crossed path. I went Happy Valley, Papa Bear, and up Wildcat and Grizzly but I was solo. :(

Curtis, Knotty, great ride. I'm sitting here so satisfied with the weekend's rides, it was really a treat to meet new people and see new scenery. I'm impressed with how your pictures turned out too. We'll have to ride again soon.

Another thanks to BBM for the slowpoke ride. Good spirits and glorious weather.
