I went to the old club ride start today and went with the A group with the intention of cutting it short. It was a 95 mile loop and 4 of us just did about 70. I felt like crap in the first 15 miles and I was embarrassed at how bad I was riding but they kept waiting and encouraging me. There was a break at 25 miles so I took a long pull after that to show my appreciation. It was a really nice day and we even had tailwind for miles toward the end.
At the start I saw a friend on his return to the club after a horrible crash early last year. He is still facing more surgeries and I was surprised to see him out. I hope he doesn't have any more problems.

I went longer than intended today, to help out the team.
Also cause I was having fun. The first ten km I had never ridden, and the next stretch only once prior.

I heard “Too Much Month” on the radio years ago and loved it.

I am a lover of music, high and low, from gut bucket to gamelan. Country is not my favorite genre, but I do enjoy a lot of it up through the 1960s and some more recent artists who maintain the tradition, such as Dwight Yoakam.
I heard “Too Much Month” on the radio years ago and loved it.

I wouldn't be surprised, at all. It seems as if workers are penalized for taking jobs of special interest and/or skill-set; I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a prestige pay-cut, but it's not far off. That's pretty sad, considering that drone workers, whether it's at a fast food joint or a big box store, seem to be starting at $15+/hr these days. Crazy.

I'm disappointed East coasters have not been overwhelming the BF servers by posting pics from this event. Oh well, there's still tomorrow I suppose...
