Saturday 6/20 rides!!

[LilBolt]

This was my 4th time for TdB, too. I love this ride and the great volunteers. A group of us make a full weekend out of it and have a great time at Silver Lake Resort ('resort' used loosely). We discovered that our camera battery was dead before we took off, so no nice photos like Mimi. Two years ago it was cold, but this seemed sooo much colder to me. Last year I went to the top, but just wimped out this year. One highlight for me was that I did make it between the 1st stop & Elk Rock 10 mins quicker than last year, and was only 7 mins behind dh. All that commuting thru the winter really did pay off! Also, the climb on this ride gives you plenty of time to admire the diversity of bikes out there! Amazing machines on the road.

I wish I had noticed Evangundy's jersey! I did notice her bike and was actually going to ask about it (is that titanium?), but I decided that disrupting my breathing wasn't such a good idea.
