Lets set teh stage. I'm in yellow so I am the Yellow Jersey. Team SilverPlater is made up of Grrlyrida and JustMe. Why Team SilverPlatter? Cause today they tried to hand my arse to me on a silver platter, and nearly succeeded today on GMR. We started from Encanto Park, up GMR to the village and back. 60 'ish miles with 6100ft of climbing.
I thought I would do some repeats if the other two fell behind. Didn't happen at all. I hit the shack then headed back down only to find Team SilverPlatter right behind me!:eek: Grrly has been working out and I had no idea she could climb like that. Lets call her "SandBagger"! JustMe must have had two servings of his favorite blueberry pancakes cause he was on extra double charge today!
Constant attacks on the yellow jersey seemed to be on the menu today. Speaking of menus, the apple pie alamode they ate at the lodge seemed to charge Team Silver Platter cause they continued to attack throughout the ride!
Team Sliver Platter...SandBagger and Mr Blueberry!

Not sure what was in that applie pie but one serving and Team SilverPlatter were up and smiling, and back on the attack!..There was a Jeep in JustMe's pic. I shopped it out, hope it looks ok.

Hello Mr. Beanz,
Looks like a great time was had by all. Was it hot up there today?

Now about the killer attack flies. Are they attracted to EPO? Team SliverPlatter was chased down all day long by killer flies. I had no problem with them but I didn't any foreign substances in my body.:D
Behind the scene pics. Just Me with an EPO sucking fly on his face!:p (before the pic touch up)

Hey Cleave! It was a perfect day. Couldn't ask for a better one. Looked as if it might be cool but the sun shined and at no time was it hot or cold. I wore an underlayer but never got hot. Never got cold either!:D
Last week was sizzlin' when JustMe and I were up there on Friday. Today was perfect!:thumb:
Hey leaner, meaner, . . . lay off my apple pie alamode. I notice you didn't take a picture of that gigungus B U R R I T O you ate. Weather today was without question

Team SilverPlatter looked menacing. You're lucky you made it up in one piece B!
If ONLY we had that kind of weather all summer! It was perfect all day in the Santa Monicas too.

Ha, ha, very funny Beanz. I was in the back on the downhill. Seems like teamsilver platter split up when justme went up front during the return. All I saw was a white and yellow speck. You guys were descending at warp speed. What did you two get up to on those switchbacks? 50 mph?
Thank for fun ride buddies on baldy. And thanks Justme for the ride home. Great day with perfect weather and hardly any traffic. Guess people were gone for the holidays.:thumb:

Very popular team tactic with the TDF riders. Send a man ahead to help out later in the ride! I'm on to you guys!:D
I think the top speed may have been 40'ish on the straights. I don't try to accelerate on the DH. A tuck at the most. Maybe 30 in the turns. Just looks fast when your face is 2 feet from the pavement.:eek:
So I'm thinking JustMe and I are lacking something in the sexy dept!:mad:...At the bottom of the downhill, some car pulls up and starts giving Grrly the thumbs up and shouting "great job!". What the!!!!!....:mad: What about me and JustMe?:roflmao2:
