    Thumbs up

    Congrats Mel!!

    I was thinking about you today as I watched the trees in my backard bend over in the wind.

    I remember that flat stretch heading back to Gavilan College, which heads due west into the prevailing winds. It was a whupfest for me when I did the metric a few years back and the wind then was nothing like it was today. So great job !!

    You're turning into a aminal, kiddo.

    Thanks, Jobob! Yep, that stretch into the headwind was indeed a whupfest.

    I just realized that this was my first 100 mile ride since I rode the Primavera Century with my brother back in 1994.
    I'll get back on the bike soon, I promise!

    Hey Snap,

    I was wondering if you were working the Tierra Bella. I kept my eye out for you, but obviously didn't see you.

    Your club did a fantastic job on the event!

    Thanks Melissm for the report. I too felt sorry for any cyclist out today in these nasty winds, which are, BTW still blowing strong up my way.

    Congrats to you on a well done ride! If you can get through that ride, the ALC ride will seem like lemon drops!
