Deb rode yesterday, a little off her usual pace, a little tired at times, (I've never seen her tired before). Cathy was returning from sickness and had practiced her snot-rocket technique before joining us. She decided to stick with Kleenex for the ride. I don't think you've met Carrie, ex-runner and super fit and about 30, she'll only get better.
Oops, I remembered you're doing another train ride next week.

I think you'd enjoy it, we have a good group with some BFers,too. You could even ride there from home. No long drive, no train, home from a century by 4:00 without a super early start. Did I mention the women?

It's going to be mostly flat (there is that little hill in SD called Torrey Pines, but other than that...). I'm glad to hear Deb was out riding. Yeah, even hearing that she was tired...:( She must have gone down pretty hard. I sure hope she gets better soon. Oh, and remind Cathy that the "art is in the blow." Kleenexs are for sissies. :p :D

I told Deb you said hi, she said hi back at you. She is skiing this week, but I'm sure next time I see her, she'll be back to dropping me on the first hill. It was nice being able to ride with her Saturday, it made me feel stronger when it was just her slowing down.
You're right, I'm very lucky to have such good riding friends, and even luckier that some of them are women. You are always welcome to join us, and we rarely drive anywhere.

Fit and 70's for sure. Said he had worked at Rocketdyne at one time. Told me he almost always does the Monday ride.

No way am I teaching you the art of snotrocketry...UNLESS it will slow you down on the hills so I can stay up with you? Now, that, I didn't think of. ;):D

Note violation of rule in quote above. Rip her legs off Cathy.

Cheers.
