Wow: TATER: glad it wasn't worse, and I hope all heals quickly.
JIFFER: I laugh reading your post -- not AT you, mind you, but b/c you describe me to a tee! When I have a lot to do, somewhere to be and I'm running late, I'd lose my head if it wasn't hooked on! Glad to see I'm not the only one, but I'm sorry you had such a frustrating, and fairly expensive (the Oakleys) day.

My ride Saturday was a good time mostly. My friend is married to one of "the big boys" on our bike club. We call the speed racers this. He wanted to get a few guys together to ride a SLOW ride on Saturday, cuz they planned a century for Sunday. So they said they'd take it easy and "hang back" with us. Well -- hang back for them is more than I usually can keep up with. Until we hit the head wind, we were cruising along at 18-20mph! But they were great and provided a heck of a windblock at times, and came back to grab me when I fell behind. (Isn't that SWEET?!)

Overall it was a beautiful ride from Mount Vernon, to Conway and to LaConner and back to Mount Vernon. Man my legs were TOAST! About 35 miles by the time we finished. The weather was absolutely gorgeous (see Salsa's previous photos) for the Pacific NW at this time of year!
