‘71 for me, I have eschewed all previous reunions. I really should consider the next one, it’s been 50 big ones, after all.

People with jolts in their wardrobe dissing Tejas. Sad for them.

I can't see 'jorts' without thinking 'Jarts'. I remember hearing that, when the point sticks in your skull, they make a 'squinch' sound that the survivors tend to remember.

It is kind of steep for a popular trail. But if you can't walk a mile without needing a snack, you've got problems.

If I hadn't thrown them out, I'd offer you the 40 year old original tires off the Lotus Classique, and told you not to worry about that bulge where the bead didn't seat next to the valve.

What if eating the snacks is the point of the hike?

That's a lot of concrete. There were a lot of cement trucks winding their way amongst all those trees.

No, but I did once spend the night space-A at the SAC Inn on the former Carswell AFB. We had to sneak the baby we were traveling with into the room because the management were afraid she might cry and keep the visiting pilots awake. She didn't cry and I remember free booze and other fun stuff courtesy of the taxpayers.

Last Tennessee foray was about 48 years ago.
Name one thing worth seeing in Tennessee.

58 miles today with fast guy and e-bike couple. Pace was fine and I even led part of it until the 7 miles up the canyon and the steep climb after that. Really, it was fine and they kept their speed in check until the last part when they gradually started speeding up. The curse of the e-bikes. They change the dynamics of the ride. I can't wear them down on the flats or expect them to tire after the climbs.
