Like the Hatfield's and McCoy's!

It begins so innocently . . .
"Nice hat Joe . . ."
. . . says a fellow rider
Soon, the words are pouring forth
"I know your weakness' . . . 
coffee and stopping to pee . . .

Really, It's just a little washout . . .

Hmmmm . . . 
"Maybe they aren't kidding?"


"Yeah, I suppose this might be a problem . . ."
"Let me think . . ."



"No problem . . . "

Well Done Peter! (and thanks to Joe)

A lovely morning at the start; after the prerequisite tire changing exercise Joe, Peter, and I made our way up Jean Duluth, out Normanna, then Pequaywan Lakes to Fox Farm (where Joe had to bail). Peter had mounted a set of cross tires on the Roubaix and despite yesterday's rain, the gravel was in great shape.

Joe - thanks for the nice pace line work on the way out and the use of your pump.....
Peter - thanks for being willing to get off the pavement!

4 Horsemen

The good thing about riding with these 4 guys
It was kinda like this for me
I could just sit back and relax
Until of course
the inevitable puncture
Somehow, we made it to the gravel
(TIM . . .  YOUR BIKE WILL BE JUST FINE!)
Where we quickly realized
Sharp dress runs in the family!

One Fine Day ( or: the Calm Before the Storm)

Just Pics (almost)!
Mr Whistle
It's always great to have the ladies out
Let's face it boys . . . they are way nicer to look at . . .
It's always good to see Wayne
as for Tim . . .
The astute reader will recall "All about Tim!"
As the temperatures rise, Wayne needs to discard some clothes
While on the subject of clothes . . . 
Would someone please explain to me . . .
How this Raleigh jersey goes with the Nature Valley shorts?
This is some kit choice!
(until we realize the Raleigh jersey is a team jersey from the Coor's Classic . . . worn by Deb during the race . . . 
She gets a fashion bye . . .)
What's that?
Allen is so strong, he beats us even while injured
This was the calm before the storm . . .
From this point forward . . . I was "a little busy" 
A personal THANK YOU to 
Deb, Allen and Tim . . .
For getting me from the Mocha Moose,
 to Lester River
in under 40 minutes . . . 
I made it to the party on time!
