Veronica,

Congratulations on completing being 7/12 of the way to the R12!!

It was great seeing you as I was inching my way up the north side of Palomares. My thought process went as follows:

- Pant, pant, pant -- almost to the top of this booger
- Look over there -- a cyclist just beginning their descent -- lucky dog!!
- Hey, that looks like Veronica
- It IS Veronica!!
- Hmmmm, I wonder if she's doing the Permanent.... (The answer to that question is ... YUP!!)


Jobob,

Good job!!! You're 2/12 of the way there!!!!!

dachshund and I were enjoying a post-ride celebratory beer and thought of calling you, but I thought you might be in the middle of your permanent and didn't want you to succumb to temptation. You'll be happy to know that we were able to finish the pitcher....

- Mel
