    Woohoo Jo!

    Jo finished a 200k! Jo finished a 200K!

    And she's got a great write up about it in her blog. Of course it helps that she says nice things about me in it.

    Jo rocks! Plus she is great fun to ride with.

    I have some good pictures of a snazzy looking chick on a motorcycle, doing the hair flip and providing sustenance. I also have a nice one of the matching wrist bands Jo and I were wearing that I'll post later.

    Jo does rock! And I'm glad she's learned what she calls "one of the Great Truths of Brevet Survival: Don't Think", so she will now undoubtedly be successful in her R-12 goals.

    Good job ladies!

    Way to go, Jo!! I am so impressed - that's a long way to ride, with headwinds AND hills! And what a great support team! (Now I get all the Bottle Opener references!)

    Very nice write up and photos too!
    Keep calm and carry on...

    I don't want to hijack Jo's thread, but since you asked. It's good motorcycle hair:



    And I have to take credit for the BEST pic that Jo has on her blog - the attacked by a tree one! That one was fun to take and to send!!!

    nope, the Mt. Hamilton Challenge. (*gulp*)

    I might wuss out and do the up & back route (70 miles & 5300' climbing) rather than the full route (125 miles, 8300' climb). I suppose I'll decide when I reach the top of Hamilton.

    Tho it would be nice to do the whole route - then I could pester V & the C.O. at the rest stop they're manning for the Devil Mountain Double. The DMD is being run the same day over some of the same route, but in the opposite direction.

    Hee hee. Tho my thighs look awfully large in that pic.
    Uh, maybe because they are large

    That's why I made the distinction.
