Long Distance Girls....

Thanks MP! I too re-read your report, that is scary and I'm glad that you are okay!

As for those expansion joints...people tried to tell me that they weren't as bad as you described. Uh uh...your description was dead-on. In fact, three of us from BF had stuff rattle loose or fall off...a light for me, part of a pump for another guy and one guy's Garmin flew off and almost went in the cattle guard.

Expansion joints are the devil.

Thanks, guys.

Yeah - on those expansion joints, I included a photo of them in my ride report that was taken purely by accident. (I think I was taking out the camera to take a pic of the donkeys and pushed the shutter button by accident.) So it's not a great photo, but the fact that you can see my (SIZE 11 ) foot is smaller than the joints proves that they were huge. And a huge PITA!!

Glad none of you had a run in with bees.... But it sounds like you didn't see any donkeys, so you missed out!

Brandy, your photos are great.

I wish I could have done the ride this year. I was off doing "The Terrible One" with the Death Ride team. Maybe next year, I'll plan the schedule around this. Expansion joints ... maybe not.

Veronica...you're slacking on your ride report. Hurry up, I've been checking back all day!

I had to work today. I suppose I could have told my class to sit quietly while I wrote.

I did use my Central Coast write up in my class as an example of what revising really means.

I'll get right on it.

Oh, it's the end of the school year...isn't it time for them to slack off anyway? Okay, okay...I'll be waiting...patiently.

I've gotten as far as that valley after Old Sherwin. I'm taking a break though to go feed my neighbors' cat.
