Somethings are better left to the imagination!
A few things to remember
16 of us to start!
Single speeds, road bikes, tri-bikes, mountain bikes . . .the whole gamut!
4 women up and at 'em early in the morning (well done Sheree Christian!)
"sore cheeks" Lauren . . . less than two days after having all four wisdom teeth removed.
'Deb, with enough courage to ride even knowing Rich would be there! (that takes courage!)
oops . . . Shanie and Rick go down
Jim on the mountain bike
Tony on the tri bike (yeah . . . you could ride gravel with that)
Rich's caffeine powered bike
Russ' donut powered machine
Tim's flat . . .
Swattin' mosquitoes at N Tischer & Normana
Dave and his crazy messenger bag
oh oh . . . seein' all that blood on Shanie and Rick
Good thing John is a Dr . . . oops . . . all he can do is "diagram sentences"
Doug shows up, a "real Dr . . . "
Watchin' 3 of our group fly by us!
"Hey . . . we got us a cadre"
(for the non-believers:
ca·dreNoun/ˈkadrē/
1. A small group of people specially trained for a particular purpose or profession.
2. A group of activists in a communist or other revolutionary organization.)
COFFEE TIME!
Five (count 'em five!) thermoses of coffee . . . 3 with fresh ground french press coffee!
One thermos of tea!
18 assorted donuts
1 loaf zucchini bread; 1 loaf banana bread (Hey boyz . . . did you really make that?)
Singin' HAPPY BIRTHDAY to RUSS!! (maybe we wanna forget that)
Swattin' mosquitoes again
Lots of good conversation
gee . . . that's a lot of blood on Shanie's leg
Havin' to say "good bye" to the non-gravel ridin' contingent . . .
Gravel at last . . .
Losin' Rich's camera (idiot!)
Ridin' the "good line"
Lots of smiles on Fox Farm!
Game on for Russ and Rich . . . they crossed the line dead even . . .
Sayin' good bye to John, Dave, Lauren and Russ
Flyin' down W Knife River Rd at high speed (go Sheree . . . go!)Rick "giddy with joy" at ridin' gravel
ah . . . more coffee at the Mocha Moose!
Joinin' up with Penny and Mary . . . and . . . hey Steve . . . Where's your bike?What? It's in the car???
Learnin' about the "bitch switch" and the 1/2 blind, 3-legged dog Rufus
Kayla pointin' out her new hair color
More great conversation . . . Rich's recitation of the entire "Heck" course. Can you map that?
The final Seven head on down the highway . . .
I'd love to hear what you remember from today!
What a great time! Thanks to all for joining!
