Hey Rogue - I had a super ride, thanks for asking. I planned to ride w/2 women friends, 1 of whom is perfectly matched to me and the other is her double century partner this year. We were joined by another woman friend who I used to ride with 10 years ago and haven't ridden with in ages. so that was super fun.

Yeah the lunch stop was a little crazy. I think we got in there around 1, so I don't know if you were there or not. That headwind was so awful before lunch and I felt so crummy I really was considering cutting off the extra Dutcher loop. But a little rest and the thought of a tailwind after Dutcher and I sucked it up. It turned out that we all felt awful before lunch, but we just didn't say anything.

Hope your friend who crashed is ok. Glad you had fun.
