AIDS/LifeCycle Volunteer Training Ride Leaders Hugo, Jeff, Kobie and Greg continue to impress with their time, knowledge and leadership. Thank you for a fun ride to Orinda. Loved seeing familiar faces and meeting new folks.

I had planned to ride two hours before meeting the training ride group at Del Norte BART, but with getting over being sick for five days, I thought taking today easy would be much better for me in the long run. When I told Mama that I would be riding Saturday, she asked me if I thought that would be a good idea. I responded I would be fine and she said, I guess we're all hard-headed ... take care. Mother's wisdom for a 53-year old. I listened to my body and her and took yesterday off.

I did get in an hour before our 9am meet-time. I have a few months to get in shape, but I want it NOW.

Ramona and her older son, Daniel joined today's training ride -- so great to see such wonderful pairs. Ramona rode with her son, Gregory in AIDS/LifeCycle 2014. More like Gregory sped each morning to camp in time to have the tent set up for Mom and son. Now that's a nice benefit. Your tent set up each afternoon before you get to camp.

Here are my photos for today's ride.
