SheGotBike! 2008

Ha! Artie Johnson. Perfect description.

I haven't actually toppled over (yet!) but there have been plenty of times when I thought I was going to.

There have also been plenty of times when I managed to ride all the way to the top of a hill but the people walking were faster than me. But we all made it eventually, and that's all that mattered.

I got an email saying the road markings are incomplete.
The women who are doing them got stopped by the POlice and apparently couldn't convince them of the importance and temporary nature of their act.

This makes no sense to me.
I hope they went out again to finish or there are going to ba a lot of confused cyclists in the vicinity on Sunday.

Oh yeah, I notice the forcast for Sunday is very hot.
They even wrote HOT in red letters.

Zen, I thought the e-mail said that there was a new county law and they weren't allowed to mark the roads. I'm a bit nervous about this, since I can't read cue sheets when I wear my sunglasses (no bifocals). Might make for a long ride, stopping all the time to read the cue sheet. I think I'll do the 28 mile ride, both to account for the cue sheet time and because of the heat/humidity.

As a mentor (haha), I may have gotten a different email.
Maybe they were trying to save face. I find that one a little diffcult to swallow.

Right now I'm leaning toward not going to SheGotBike tomorrow. Between the heat and humidity and no road markings and losing a whole day when I've got a to-do list a mile long, I'm not too enthusiastic.

Zen, could you pick up my t-shirt for me? I think I ordered a large.

[Zen]

Can't blame you.
I feel I have an obligation and would follow suit if I could

So how was it?
