Glad you had a good ride. Where'd you go???
Oh yeah. Remember in Lance's book It's Not About the Bike when he talks about the brain lesions? Big time serious stuff when it goes across the brain/blood barrier. Not to mention, the fewer sites involved the better but as I understand it there are two basic things you do not want - opposite sides of the diaphram and in the brain.

Ride was just from Davis out and over Cantelow. Nothing really special just a quiet day with Bubba after a crappy week. I found out about Dad when I called my mom from the airport on Monday as I was leaving for Scottsdale.

The ride was a bit more adventurous than normal because we saw road constructions signs but didn't think anything of it. Half of California has road construction after the winter rains. It turned out that about 3/4 mile of road was ripped down to bare dirt and some gravel. No big deal except for the last eighth mile where they were actively grading and watering. After slipping sideways a few times (and being grateful for our mtbike skills), we walked. Looks cleats and mud -- not so good. And funny thing, Bill's Seven was not built for mud clearance between the tire and the seat tube. We'll have to register a complaint. Of course, the Mercian sailed through. I really like the makeover.
