Davis Double Drivel

I only ate about half or less of it. I put the lid on and then went to change and somehow it disappeared. Thom was starving!

Just curious: 200 miles or 200 Km?

I'd guess it's the software, the "other" forum is the same way.

One thing SK mentioned after the ride - and I noticed too - was that the people riding the double century seemed on a whole to be a lot more considerate and easy-going that the types one might encounter on a century "hammer-fest" ride. Perhaps it's becasue double century riders have that much more experience? Just a thought.

Jo--after my experience yesterday at the C here, I've pretty much decided that I will no longer ride in the "hammer fest" type of rides. Yesterday's ride was probably one of the worst I've been in from that perspective and I found myself saying more than once "It's just not worth it." One of the riders that went down was a ~10 year old kid, apparently riding without an escort nearby, wildly out of control.

That being said, I sure hope LRRH is saner. I spoke with one of the members of BBTC a little about it yesterday and she assured me LRRH is indeed more laid back. And I'm glad to hear that doubles tend to be as well. Hopefully I'll be able to confirm that!

Sorry for the hijack!

Bummer that you didn't have a good ride Yellow. A lot of people just aren't thinking about the others around them. I had a bit of that yesterday - it upset me so much called Thom. I had dropped my sunglasses and turned around to get them, crossed back across the road in front of a group, with plenty of room to spare. But one of the the riders freaked and swerved. Naturally the group blamed me.

I suppose I could have left my $250 sunglasses Or allowed them to be run over by this group.

Whatever.

I don't recall one instance of hammerfest intimidation.

You two are amazing! I'm so glad the weather held out for you. When I went to bed Friday night I was thinking of you and hoping the rain would not be an issue.
