Since I just couldn't get the muster to do the ride on Saturday, I was thrilled to learn that some women were doing the same route Sunday.

What a difference 24 hours makes! We had sun, wind (of course), clouds, and cool temps. BUT at least we didn't have the gales and the rain the Saturday Cinderellas did!

9 of us ended up going out. Two of the husbands provided SAG support. We started north of the route on San Ramon Valley Road near Al Costa and then caught the route further south and followed it from there. We stopped at all of the official rest stops to catch up with each other.

The men met us at the lunch stop with oranges, bananas,cookies, etc. (left over from the day before). That was such a treat. They also met us at the 3rd rest stop where we again could eat what we wanted!

Afterwards, Ellen (Ms Badger), me, Linda (the artist), and Billie (from Los Gatos) had treats at Starbucks. A nice way to end a beautiful ride. Maybe I'll do the Cindy on Sat and the Cindy #2 on Sunday next year. It's so different with less people, yet still rewarding and a pleasure to be with women for a day!
