Thank you SO much for posting your pictures and commentary!!! How cool (okay, hot) is that?!?!?! It is always so much better for those of us not able to make it to the rides to be able to see what everyone is talking about. That looked like a fabulous ride!!! I hope to get to ride w/you all sometime soon!

Don't get me wrong - it's a wonderful ride, and I'm really looking forward to doing it again. Although the profile I posted looks indimidating, for the most part the grade was so shallow I didn't realize we were actually climbing. The few steep sections were relatively short.
It's just I don't do well in the heat.

Wow, so Glen is gw_12 on bj? Huh.
I really did have a lot of fun meeting new people. Very nice to have BikeMomma along. That girl can climb. MP smoked everyone on the downhills.
Jo, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were having such crises. Such times seem to be extra horrible in the heat but I was so glad to see your perseverance. I'm going to stop being so "pleasantly surprised" (your words) when you ride better than you say you will. I know now that you're just setting the scene. Your game is up.
I am feeling ever so much better about my downhills. BikeMomma and I both live in the flatlands. If you can't ride up, you certainly can't practice your downs. At the WCC I felt like I was creeping down the hills, but I finally started to let it go. That road is a great downhill for honing up these skills.
As always, jobob, great pics and write up. I love going back to old threads and reading your commentary.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Jobob, Kim and MP,
You'll be happy to know that Bubba grabbed the changing room and folded it up in about 10 secs.

I remember helping SK try to wrestle that thing into a small disk. It didn't work, if I remember correctly.
