    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!

And, after approximately eleventy-billion times of doing this exact same thing, do you think I'd learn my lesson about not eating = bonking?? AND, I even took a baggie of trailmix with me from the rest stop, OPENED it, and put it in my Bento right in front of me so that I could dip into it while riding. But did I?
    I guess I was just really concentrating, trying to deal with the wind and catch up to the rest of my group. I dunno. If you all have any hints as to how I can remind myself to eat, other than a complete brain transplant, I'm all ears.

    Thanks for the kind words about all my blathering.
