P12, second leg

[Biciclista]

Bikechick, the P12 is a new thing this year with the randonneurs. Not just my local club either. Did I mention you get a medal at the end?

Susan, I'm glad you got back on your bike. You'll be back in shape in no time!

Oakleaf, December is a really scary month for me. Sometimes there are entire weeks that I don't even want to go outside let alone ride for 6-7 hours!

Don't you have to buy the medal for yourself?

yeah, I guess you do have to pay for it, but it's less than 10 dollars including shipping.

It's not much, and seems like a nice thing to have around to remind you of all of the effort that went into it.

[Biciclista]

well yeah. Besides my husband has a wall of medals, maybe now I can finally earn one!

[Catrin]

I still intend on joining you - but it is going to take me awhile...have to actually establish one in my area.

It might be easier to simply choose a 100k route that I will ride once a month and give myself a virtual medal at the end of the 12th - something really decadent like hot dark chocolate over real ice cream - I just couldn't tell my doctor nor check my blood sugar that day

hmmmm

Surely Catrin, you can cheat on your diet once a year!

Nice job, Mimi! You rode very close to my house, but not quite by it (I live a little south of the Gaston check in).

A tailwind on the return trip was good luck indeed - usually it blows the opposite direction this time of year if the weather is clear!
