What a fine mid-December Saturday it was.... windy, but mid-70s... wow.... Nice to see everybody that came out -- Terry and friend, Mark, Dianna, Ed, Charlie, Robert, Lynn, and Joe. Sorry it was a little disconnected, but we weren't exactly coordinated on our arrival times!
After a casual counterclockwise lap-plus and regrouping at the 7-11, we split into speed groups. I could tell Charlie and Robert were itching to bump it up a little - Charlie was on his reclaimed Strada, and Robert on his new Corsa. The three of us wound up playing a bit of cat-and-mouse, or "good cop / bad cop" with some DF riders. We would cruise along at 20 or so -- If a faster rider would pass us, Charlie would lock onto his back wheel and not let go... as the guy typically attempted to drop him... and after a couple minutes of this, I would gear up and pass them both, Charlie having burned the guy up...
We did this at LEAST twice...
On our third lap, I took Charlie and Robert up the hill to the top of the dam, for a bit of sightseeing...
We also had an almost-fracas with a drunk at the 7-11, where fortunately cooler heads prevailed -- otherwise there would have been a messed-up Dad and a sad 5 year old, I think... But I'll let Eddie tell the tale...
Thanks again, see you at the upcoming dinner!
