Busy day at work. But someone (one of my patients) left an envelope for me. I opened it up and it contained a felt "Giro d'Italia" Banner from the 100th anniversary of the Giro. It's pink (of course) and roughly 8 x 14 inches. I have a pic and will try to post it later.

Just in case you wanted to know. A Bloody Mary tastes better at 30,000 feet.

OK, today was a short ride, only 24 miles. We usually ride 40-45 miles but it was a cold, nasty, windy day and one guy had to get back anyway so we cut it short.
Today's average was only 15.0 but mid-18 isn't unusual. It depends upon the attendees.
I'm the weak bladder in the group due to my prostate removal and radiation damage. I don't go very far between stops.
Power was pretty low today.
Age left to right: 62,73,63,74 and I'm 64.

Check over the bike carefully before your next ride, especially the brakes. She's smart enough to keep the decomposing phase outside of the house.

Good point. She had me take our daughters bike to the shop yesterday. I think that was a diversion so that she could make some "repairs" to my bike.

Noooo, don't use your own dog. Get a chewawa or a yoorky or something, what good are they anyway?
