Sounds lovely, NY! How nice about the bench dedication. :-)

Crankin, I agree -- going slower is just a lot more pleasant at times. No suffering can be very nice.

We had to skip our usual Sunday morning ride as it was raining off and on, and even during the not-raining minutes, the puddles and wet roads put us off. And by the time we thought "Gee, maybe we should have ridden after all", it would start raining again, thus proving that we made the right decision. It's been a rainy six weeks or so here in Playa, I guess because July through Sept. was dry as the desert.
