DH and I did a 25 mile out to Mission Coffee & back. Saving myself for tomorrow.

Yeesh, it was windy out.

You're going to do fine tomorrow Jo. You know you are in charge of the map.

Is Lee coming out? Thom's going to join us at Nicasio.

I had to go pick up prom supplies in Belleville, (a 2 hr. drive) but I threw my folder in the car "just in case". As I was leaving Belleville, I spied a paved bike path that crossed the road I was on, and a park with a parking lot. I had a terrific ride through the town of Belleville and along the metrolink too. My first time in that town.

Lee's dropping me off at the Safeway and then he's planning to toodle around on his own. I'll see if he'd like to ride with us, maybe over the bridge & into Sausalito or thereabouts.

Map? there's a map?

[Veronica]

Okay, cue sheet, not a really a map, other than the one you did in Bikely.

Very well done, pinkbike! Congrats!

[Veronica]

I'm just messin' with you, V.

I'm not bringing the GPS. So, it doesn't matter, you're in charge of making sure I don't get lost.

PS Nice job Pink!

had a great ride in the tour de phoenix. 4th year and i finally got under 4 hours, tho the headwind climb that never ended was brutal. 72 miles, temp a mild 82. i had figured that i'd need 19.2 average to get in the platinum range (3:45), and i had 19.6 all the way up to mile 59. then as i was climbing at about 8 mph i was watching the average just drop and drop. after the hills, when i saw 8 miles to go i still had 24 minutes to finish under 4 hours, and i knew i could do it. i totally sprinted at the finish and saw the time clock at 3:57. woohoo!
