did 109 miles saturday in the huge el tour de tucson. 8158 riders in a mass start!! floyd was there (not riding) with robbie ventura. what an ovation from the assembled riders when floyd was introduced on the starter's podium! gorgeous day in the 80's, traffic-controlled, food/water about every 5 miles, great production, good time.

Hi all

I've just found this thread.

Today I went out to do a particular route. In the end I did a different route. I've decided that that's a more positive way to see it than to say that I got lost. when I got home I studied the map and realised that I was where I thought I was, rather than where I had planned to be.

However, the route I found was great. I was in the hills on my road bike and I was free and happy. When I cycled back I just flew down the hills. There was snow on the peaks (I live in Scotland) and it was so beautiful and life felt good.

So in future I will try to remember that often there is no such thing as getting lost, it's just a case of changing your mind about the route you're going to take...

Here's to freedom...

I also did El Tour. Got to see FL from the middle of the slivers, and got 109 in. Was not thrilled with the risky-ness of my fellow riders, though. Good thing I stayed out of Gold.
