'scuse the hijack TE.

This will be my 5th time participating and 3rd time riding. Ask me again after the ride .... in October. That's usually been when I decide.

Right now I feel I won't ride again.

Lead training rides again? Oh Yeah. In a heartbeat.

But doing the ride kinda eats up your life, it's stressful, right up to the night before "do I have enough socks, do they match? am I trained enough? where's my cat crap? "

I expect this year to be my best ride ever because I'm riding with niece UK Elephant. I look forward to seeing friends from rides before and new experiences too. What fun to spend a week supporting an important cause and showing UK beautiful CA.

The plan also is for my Mom, Duck on Wheels & Mr Duck on Wheels to see us ride into LA.

This could make up for all UK did playing tour guide in Norway when I saw the winter Olympics. Especially translating when the rentawreck broke down in the snow

Will I want to go for a 6th? MWBR.
