Darned it. . I think one of those wayward arses facing the camera is mine. Oops.

Oh, sorry

Actually, Mad, we passed a woman at one point who was wearing a Team in Training jersey and we wondered if you could have counted a ride like this towards your training. Next time, you need to tell your coach she has to let you join the gang, since she skipped out on you this time.
I took no photos of the group, but this is the coffee shop at which we rested our wayward arses after the ride:
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Glad you all had a good time! I seriously considered ditching the training I had to attend yesterday to join you all, rank newbie though I am. But the four miles I did to get to my session in yesterday's humidity nearly did me in, so I'm glad I didn't attempt anything harder! I felt sorry for the women sitting near me, even though I tried to stay downwind (speaking of rank....).

OK, OK, I guess you really did do the ride. I really had wanted to do this too, but the logistics for going to DC this weekend were not good.
But to make up for it, I did a 50 mile loop around Rehoboth Bay today. Well I had to go around the block at home to make the full 50, but I did it even though EVERYTHING hurt by that time. The last 15 miles were due south on Rt. 1 with 10-15kt headwinds. UGH!

I'm glad you all had a good ride. I wish I could have been with you. Hopefully next time!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

We missed you, Nicole! This was, after all, your ride....
We had a great time. Lunch was yummy. Company was great. Was really nice to meet two new (to us) TE'ers....F8th and Dingster.
