    I think you must be confusing looking fresh with a look of relief. If I looked fresh at all, it was thanks to the tailwind I got for the last mile or two. I doubt I would do this one again, though I'm sure I'll do some of these roads again. If anybody asks, I'd probably recommend the metric route over the full 100 mile route, the metric seemed to spend more time on roads with less traffic.

    I wanted to stay to make sure Jo made it in, but I had plans to meet my mom (who lives in Petaluma) for dinner at Dempsey's Alehouse. I had come in about an hour later than I had hoped for (and told her to plan for), and she's the type to WORRY to the point of making alarming phone calls. I'm glad to hear you all made it in and would do it again!

    Hey Deanna - glad you had a kind of good ride ...

    I knew you were going to Dempsey's afterwards, and I was going to suggest we all head there, but to be honest by that time Lyon's sounded sooo much simpler.

    And I was pretty certain we could get milkshakes there.

    Shudup about the milkshakes.

    I was wondering where you got milkshakes. I had to settle for beer (carb-replenishment).

    Hey Deanna - great seeing you ever so briefly on Whittaker Bluff or whatever that hill I hate is called! I wish I could have (1) actually hung with you on the steep part - how do you do that w/a double?? and (2) chatted a bit more. Had to catch Mike as this was our one and only real "ride" together for some time!

    It was good to see you too and I was quite surprised to hear my name called out on that climb. I have a compact double, otherwise FORGET IT. It's difficult for me to chat when my lungs are about to pop out. Too bad the routes diverged so soon after that.

    LOL - oh thats lucky if it was a plain double I might have had to add you to my "We dont like her" list.
    Actually though you would be in pretty good company on that list with MP, SK, V, and lately ubber strong Jobob had to be added. Kim denies being strong but after riding with her again she has been added . I also noticed Leebob was being a little too sprightly on the flats and if he keeps that up I may have to add him too. Its just as well Im going back to Aust soon because Im running out of people in Norcal to like. HEE HEE!!
