Then call your people home. I'm tired of dealing with them.

10 of us rode 80 miles today. I did better than I expected but there was only 2700 feet of climbing and the homies took it easy. It was a nice day, warm with no wind. I was happy to be done and Mrs John made fried rice with the leftover turkey. It really hit the spot.

In the old days I would be leaving the house about now, of a Sunday ride day. I hope to leave the house around 8. Time will tell. I dream of working my way back to an imperial century this winter. Time will tell.
