I'm out!
I may not be recovered enough from illness for this ride. And if I am recovered, then a friend of mine has asked me to spend the day in San Diego with her. She's supposed to take a quick tour of this one company (bleh) but then we'll visit Torrey Pines state park, visit the beach, and watch the sunset. And then have Mexican food. Oh, and at some point somehow squeeze in Julian pie. At least that's the tentative agenda. Disneyland may or may not happen the day before.
Sorry M.E. I know I promised to ride up to the lifts with you, and this really was my ride as much as it is your ride, so I feel bad about backing out. I hope we'll ride again sooner rather than later.
