I didn't see Bob at all this ride which is strange because it's kinda hard to miss him

It was great to meet everyone that I did on the 40 mile route - I had a great time despite the unplanned "stop" about 15 miles from the end.  I had an unplanned rest at a turn when I had the bike slide out from under me in some gravel in a turn.  After the initial shock and pain subsided - I finished the ride.  Ended up bruising my tailbone so I haven't ridden much in the last week.... it has gotten to the point where it doesn't hurt - just is uncomfortable - especially after about 30 minutes or so.  Hope to be back to 100% by next weekend.  
 
Anyway - it was great meeting everyone (I'm terrible with names and faces so I'll probably reintroduce myself again next time I see you).  I plan at being in Cedar Hill for that ride - say hi if you see me.
 
Marion - send me a PM or email if you are still interested in swapping seats for a little while so I can try out the Euromesh.  Probably need to wait a week or two until I am completely better.  Maybe we can meet up and make the swap and go for a ride.  Let me know.

it was a hard left turn shortly after the Camel & Zebra - before rest stop #5.  I'm pretty sure it was here:

Left turn from Rutherford onto Smith Cemetary Rd.
 
We were coming down from a good downhill run on Rutherford and had a hard left turn - saw a couple DF riders approaching quickly from behind on my left so I took the turn wide.  There was very little gravel on the inside of the turn - but quite a bit on the outside of the turn.  It was a manned turn - I think the volunteer realized how dangerous it was with the riders coming with speed down that down hill and making that hard turn with the gravel b/c he started telling people to slow down.  When I went by he was on his cell phone....  .  Not his fault though - just glad I was on the recumbent and not the DF - I think it would have been worse.  I think I have noticed it is harder to spot road hazards - maybe it is because I am enjoying all the scenery and not staring at the ground 15 feet in front of me
