Re: Telling Cat

When Younger Daughter travels with school bands and orchestras overseas, we parents are told not to contact the kids in the case of a family tragedy - like a grandparent's death. There's not much the kid can do about it, and it will just spoil their trip. Hard hearted as it sounds, that's good advice. Let Cat finish the race, then she can move on to other emotional things.

Now if there were a clear and imminent danger to the cyclists...

As for Denise, she sure knows how to tour, doesn't she? I want to ride by an ocean, too.
