Sorry for delayed and abbreviated version this week.  My other job has been very demanding.  I'll make the offer one more time, you people get together and offer me a generous salary, benefits and 401k package and I am ALL YOURS!!!

 

Rockwall HotRocks ride this Saturday.  Highly recommend you come out for the event and just suffer the chip-seal with the rest of us.  Let's REALLY try to be lined up (right side as you face the starting line) by 7:45.  For those who might wnt to carpool/caravan to Rockwall, plan on departing Legacy at 6:30.  That will have you unloading your bike at the Rockwall Freshman Center (school) by 7:15.  Marcel, the ride starts at 8:00 AM.  Plan your Sani-can visit for 7:30, NOT 7:55!

 

Bring extra liquids for Sunday's ride as the two bottles are not cutting it on these brutally hot afternon rides.  I am going to ride a reasonably paced ride Sunday afternoon, regardless of what those OTHER people choose to do.  I swear!!!  Last Sunday we welcomed back newcomers Jeff and Bryce and first-timer Jamie.  Gene and Marshall were good team stewards and rode with Jamie for the first 8 miles, making sure she didn't get dropped.  Apparently at the 8 mile mark, she got tired of "dragging" them along and dropped them like a bad habit.  So much for their galantry.  When she finished the ride, after adding a few extra miles with Pat, Steve, Maria and Jeff.  She'll fit in just fine.  Pat showed up for the first time in a while, apparently to make fun of my glow in the dark green socks.  Making fun of someone else just to get a laugh or a little attention - I just don't understand some people.

 

Billy showed up - HOORAY - to see us off.  Paul didn't even bother to make that much effort.  Apparently the new bike rumor is indeed just a rumor.  He did admit later that he waited until after we rolled out to sneka in and stock Paulie's Pit Stop.  Not sure which of the Bopsie Twins behavior was more insulting.  Shameless!

 

Hope to see you at the start line tomorrow morning.

 

Hydate people - HYDRATE!

Ride hard, ride far, ride fast . . . . . .ride smart and ride safe,
