The wedding weekend is over and well-done. I'm all played out. No bike riding here, only plane rides back and forth across the country. Home tomorrow and then on to Maine. About the birds: strings between buildings, spikes on horizontal planes,bird silhouettes on glass, and fake owls sitting on shattered mirrors. All these help.<br />Greetings to Christine.

Also, I got the Gatorade at the stop. I was determined to have enough liquid to get me 12 more miles. <br /><br />Dan offered me COLD water or Gatorade. He seemed to understand when I declined the liquid--and ride back in. <br /><br />My muscle problems didn't seem to scare him as we had talked about riding the Fort Davis Cyclefest with him. I hope we meet up with him as he was really great.Roy and Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716284820246425697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464211677845184935.post-71257231941749488952011-07-24T16:57:23.953-07:002011-07-24T16:57:23.953-07:00I'm noticing a full bottle of Gatorade on your...I'm noticing a full bottle of Gatorade on your bike and one other bottle. You mentioned that you declined Gatorade from the SAG man (all hail the SAG man - we wouldn't be here without him!) so I hope you had more than just water in that water bottle so you're taking in enough electrolytes.<br />Christine has been on 2 more mountain bike rides than I'll ever do.<br />Anyone riding those gaps is allowed to whine - some are just more allowed than others.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669027255431081814noreply@blogger.com
