Thanks so much East Bay Wildcats!
I wasn't sure we'd be cycling this morning since the weather forecast called for thunder showers around 9am, but we forged ahead with Facilitator: Mary Vencill and Co-leaders: George Head, Steve Wedgwood, Don Brown, Greg Nichols, Susan Fish, Arjan Bok, Dawn Tso. Monster Mike, again, took the lead and following him and trying to keep up with his pace was a good challenge. In our last leg, Arjan kept up with Mike and I trailed each and every time. We finished as the weather stopped giving us its sunshine and started pouring rain 2 minutes after returning to our starting point - what luck.
Thank goodness Mike offered me a ride, which I quickly accepted. When I got home, I rushed into Tip Top and Richard cleaned my chain, gave my bike a quick tune-up, adjusted my saddle height for a better bike fit, tightened my clips - how lucky is that?! I also talked with him about getting a new saddle and better tires. No need to make the change before tomorrow's 72-miler, so I'll get the new stuff installed Monday and I'll be a better, faster, smoother rider - oh, yeah!
