    Trek - is the day six downhill the same as years past? If so, I remember it well. I got hit by some kind of bug, right in the ear. By the time I got to the bottom I was bleeding something fierce. There just happened to be a Medical Tent worker there - got me cleaned up and on my way. Ears bleed like madness from little bites/scratches!

    Probably, my route sheets are with my luggage which thankfully Duck on Wheels took back up north.

    I can look it up unless they could not stand the stench and threw it out

    The medical staff and all the crew are amazing and seem to be magically everywhere. The support and volunteer crew on this ride spoils you for any other event.

    Totally agree...I think it's a mutual love affair between riders and crew shortly into any AIDS ride. Just can't beat the camaraderie and general atmosphere: respectful of each other, passionate about the reason you're riding, full-on fun, each person is genuinely appreciated for whatever their job on the ride is...all efforts are necessary to get everyone safely to the finish, right? I just haven't experienced the same on any other ride, although I admit to only doing AIDS rides since 1997 and donating to many other causes/efforts in order to support friends.

    Glad it was such an overall success; great job to the ALC contingent from TE!

    Haven't thrown it out yet, no. It's still in the car. The car didn't stink toooo bad when I pulled it out of the driveway this morning in case the mutual Mom wanted to get HER car out of the garage while I was here at the internet cafe. But thanks for the heads up. I prob'ly should head home and get your bag and UK's out of the car now before the day and the car heat up ...
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
