Hey SK -

Not a biggie about Andrew...tell him "no worries." Once I realized there was no Andrew, I was just hoping I could latch on to someone who could direct me back to my car parked near the hospital. Beth helped with that, so everything was fine in the end. Oh, and I got my Starbucks fix, with the drive-thru sitting conveniently right there. How perfect was that??! Happy camper, I was.

I don't mind at all about you sharing the ride report with the ride organizers. It was an excellent ride, except for that. There was a tandem there....man and woman aboard. Didn't get their names. I didn't get the name of the "ride leader" (for lack of a better term), unfortunately.

It does worry me that the ride seems to have bad notoriety with the City and public, evidenced by the class instructor (Tim Bustos, with City of Davis) knowing about the issue (he did sorta look at me sideways when I told him who I was going to be riding with....said they were a pretty "hard-core" group). I actually did see an oncoming car that pulled over off the road when the driver saw us coming. It struck me at the time that this may be a nearby resident who was accustomed to the ride and knows that the group takes up the road......again, not good.

Have to say tho', those s-curves at 27mph were sweeeeet! Whooowheee!
