I have an ex- who said he didn't "hike." He merely went for walks in the woods. Of course, I never saw that. I only saw the Jack Daniels to excess. But...that's a story for another day.....

Rosey on the 27th sounds good.
Catherine - I'm still waiting to see you on the Bike Place's sunday ride. Good group ride training. And, I've seen you dust me on hills, so I know you can hang with at least my peeps, if not the a/b group (they're constantly shifting the labelling - so who knows what group anybody is in??).

What's your Wednesday route look like, and would you be able to do a Friday or Monday (love the long weekends!)?
