(Long Distance) Ramblings

Friday, October 11, 2002

It's the weekend and I have no where to ride. That is, I have no firm plans as of yet.

The Death Valley Double is coming up and I really should do some very long distance this weekend, perhaps 140 miles or so on Saturday and then a recovery ride on Sunday. Hopefully the weather will be OK - cool but no rain.

Two weeks ago, we did the Peach of a Century on the tandem. It rained. It rained hard. At one point in time, Kurt and Erica were beside Joanne and I going down old Mehama Rd at 23 mpg in a very hard rain. Kurt looked at me and asked, "Can you see where you are going?" I responded, "No, but I'm not going to slow down."

However, the last twenty five miles were dry. Life was good.
