It will be in the 80s tomorrow so bring plenty of water. Tuesday was a 2 water bottle ride for me so I expect the same tomorrow. Bring your helmets, tuned up bikes and safety attitudes!
See you tomorrow at 9:00 am at Main Beach.

9 members showed and rode this morning. One girl was late because she was washing her clothes in a stream and drying them on the rocks - or something like that. She caught up at Ft Clinch. But her story was not nearly as long as Skeeter’s was about his heart, arteries, veins, cholesterol, calcium, scars, endurance training, blood pressure, etc., etc., etc. My eyes were glazing over but fortunately Sydney showed up, who bikes at the same time as us but not with us, to talk with us. It was partly cloudy so it was only a 1 1/4 water bottle ride. No flats or mechanicals to report. Gus let us start 1 minute early. Guess who belongs to the gloves below.

Hello Fellow Cyclists,

Joe’s Special will leave from SuperCorsa at 9am sharp tomorrow.  The temperature is predicted to be 81 degrees at the start with a 9 mph wind out of the south.  It will be warm, but most of you are used to it (and many even enjoy it??!!).

I’m assuming there will be a BrainTrust gathering at V’s Pizza, but please confirm this with those who are regulars.

See you tomorrow,

-JIM

If anyone is planning to go to V’s Pizza at 2pm, you may want to let others know you’ll be there by replying to this email. 

Because I was the ride leader this morning, I feel responsible for determining what happens with the brain trust. However, I probably will not be able to attend myself so this was the best way I could think of to help others organize.

-JIM

Well, we did have a ride today, but it was the smallest group for which I’ve been a ride leader.  There were 3 of us — John S, Jack S, and me (Jim H).  Although a small cohort, we were cohesive — we rode together almost the entire time.  However, we did not make it to the ferry.  Jack had a commitment so we turned around at Little Talbot Island.  John claimed he was okay with a shorter ride today because he’s riding for the next couple of days in a row.  And I always clock an extra 10 miles because I ride from home.  

We had no flats, mechanicals, or falls.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable ride so all of those who didn’t show up missed a day in paradise!

In fact, we were having so much fun that I forgot to snap a photo!
