    Cowbells for Maillotpois

    Go MP Go!!!!!!!!

    She's riding Devil Mountain Double on Saturday, getting up hours before the crack of stupid dawn to ride 206 miles and climb nearly 20,000 feet. Yep, our very own MP - crazy girl that she is. But we love her anyway.

    We'll be ringing the cowbells when you get to our rest stop at Windy Gap - 132 miles into the ride with a good chunk of the climbing done. Just that little ole Sierra Rd., you know the Cat 1 climb on the ToC coming up. I'll be sure and save you a V-8.

    As usual, I am in awe of you California girls (past and present, SK). That sounds like one heck of a ride! Good luck, MP!!!!!

    Coach MP,

    I thought this was supposed to be a recovery week. Oh, that's right, you're an animal these days, so the DMD will be a recovery ride for you.

    Good luck to ya!!

    - Mel
    I'll get back on the bike soon, I promise!

    Go MP! I have no doubt you'll prevail. By the way, those were some good pics of you on the Diablo ride. You look great.
