Looking at the weather forecasts, Saturday's ride might be a washout. Hope I'm wrong, but it isn't looking good.

As for the Tour de Houston, we did the 60 mile route. Maybe the Ready2Roll series is doing some good because I got off my bike on Sunday and felt like I could do another 60 miles. I even accidently missed the last rest stop (couldn't understand what the person was yelling into the megaphone, and then realized when I hit Hempstead Hwy that it was probably about the rest stop). All in all a really good ride. I agree about the snacks, but that's part of the reason I bring my own bars and gels to each ride.

A couple of guys in our group got ahead of us a little bit an witnessed a very bad crash on the 2nd stage. A rider got her wheel caught in one of the expansion joints/cracks in the pavement and did a endo/face plant and was knocked unconscious for a minute or so. They stopped to help out, but said their were a bunch of people helping and they were just getting in the way so they left. We passed by after she regained consciousness, but they were holding her head and neck still. She was moving all her limbs so I guess that's a good sign. Hopefully she's doing better and it wasn't anything too serious.
