I've been absent because I had strawberries and peaches (from our tree) to jam.
Saturday we rode to Davis, 25 mi. pancake-flat, to watch our team mates at the Davis Crit. The men's Pro/1 race featured 1 teammate, our sponsor's son, and a former junior member, as well as the National Crit Champion (Rashaad Bahardi, sp) who rides for Rock Racing. That race was crazy-fast, and changed every time they passed us. Rashaad won in a photo finish -- we were at the finishing line and couldn't tell who won. It was an exciting race and worth the time we spent watching.
We rode the 25 mi. home easy, had a flat, a stop for more water, and all into the wind. Still, a good day to ride. We ate dinner while watching the TdF TT that we'd recorded.
