sheesh. I'm still feeling beat up after the little adveture we had Saturday. A good kind of beat up, but beat up none the less! I'm seriously thinking I'm only going to do the 35 mile option. Baby steps.....

OK, I've got my cheering section going. Let's start one for snap. Take it easy this week. Rest up them legs and go for it. You've done some longer rides than 35 this year, right? Slow and easy and scenic. From the description, the climbing on the 65 route sounds about like the Cindy but far prettier.

Snap Cheering Section open
And drink a ton of water. It is finally starting to get warm, so give your legs and bod some water to hydrate from your ride this weekend.
Good news about WCC is all the routes seem like they're pretty and you may well be able to start the metric and then do a bail out and make a shorter route - probably Deanna would know better, since she's "connected" and I don't know the 35/metric routes too well. But Iknow the 200k can easily be cut shorter, so I imagine the same is true for the others.
Go for it!! We finally have NICE weather so you will want to take advantage of it!!!Sarah

quick note to let y'all know that I will end up doing the metric instead of the full century. No time on the bike in the last couple weeks due to double thesis duty and my only riding day spent trying to recover my files (my computer crashed and burned and is no longer useable - what timing, huh?)
see ya saturday!

I was able to recover everything - thanks to the geeksquad and my credit card. thank goodness but too bad they couldn't salvage my computer. I'm now typing from my much slower PC -- and in the market for another laptop. Any suggestions on where/what to buy? Originally Posted by SadieKate

I was wondering when someone would say something. It's an addiction and a distraction - I'm the queen of getting distracted when it comes to these stupid theses. Gawd I'm a hateful person to be around these days.........

cindy - were you able to rescue any of your files? Do you know what died? Can the hard drive be pulled and hooked up to another box?

That is so helpful. Originally Posted by cindysue
