Correction, I believe that’s a 60s song.

Pup.

Ouch!

BillyD

Correct.

I associate that song with the death of a schoolmate. I went to a tree hugger elementary school outside the city. We took frequent walks in the woods. While in 5th grade a kid in 6th grade contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, almost certainly from a tick, and mono at the same time and died a day before his 13th birthday. His brother was in my grade. His other brother was a few grades under. The family and mine lived somewhat close to each other and were members of the same swim club. At his memorial service at the school one of the teachers played Turn! Turn! Turn! The school planted an apple tree in his memory. Some of his classmates mixed some of his ashes into the soil at the base of the tree. It was really sad.

Oh wow, that is awful. That poor family.

When I was in second or third grade a classmate died of leukemia. A few years ago during a ride I stopped at the cemetery and tried to find her gravestone. I didn't see it.

I can't carry a backpack on any bike. During the brief period I used a camelback I rigged it to a fanny pack.

I guess you guys just didn't get it.

Pics never crossed my mind. It has to be pretty spectacular, or I have to be pretty tired. I did pass a wind farm, but so close I was practically right under it. I'll try to do better tomorrow, on a more scenic route.

If you had been at a Buc-ees you wouldn’t have had this problem.

Nice ride with Whyfi this morning. We got stuck by a train which ate up some precious time. Temperature was nice traffic was light.

You no doubt recognize the tunes from your youth. But the rhythms are tricky to learn and we don't have a lot of time for it.

Not to mention as a teen.

Amirite?

There's a lot of Lesters in that pic!

Did he verify you see-thru shorts?

indyfabz

It was. When he got sick we were given letters to take home to our parents telling of the kid's illness and reminding them to check us for ticks, which my mom did fairly regularly. He died two days later.

Wwe used to have an old baby food jar with alcohol that my mom would drop ticks in to kill them.

I know some people hate them. I prefer to carry everything on the bike, rather than the body, but when I go on a mountain bike ride I have to put on the larger Camelbak.
The lady in the picture is extraordinarily strong. Not only is she really fast on a bike, she is a big mountain skier and mountain climber. She did Mount Whitney in 13 hours, which is really fast. I was sad when she moved to another state.

I was about 1 click away from ordering an Ultegra Di2 group set this week, but now see components of the new 105 Di2 showing up on websites. Hmmm....

MoAlpha

Nope. Years 12-14 were difficult at times but not too bad and after that, she was a delight almost all the time.

Well, the Buc-ees has a more open-air design, so it wouldn't have been like a steam engine exploded next to me in an underground bunker.
Trainspotting. Cool.

Mojo31

Ours was a delight before and after high school. She was actually pretty good during high school, but really came into her own about half way through college.

Bit of Bloomfield here. Solo starts around 3:00.
