Lunch at Cous Creek

I never ask to ride my age in miles 'cause I know those numbers aren't getting any smaller. Seems like a bad precedent.

But I'll gladly ride your age for ice cream. I started with Dave's ice cream and brownies and they persuaded me to have Chris's. I never got to my own.

Sorry neither Dave nor Chris could be with us. With Bloomsday in progress we also missed Linda and Debbie. Mike pointed out that would leave more ice cream for us, but then Doug and Scott and Jen and Helen showed up. I had to share.

The best cycling day of the spring, we left in shorts and short sleeves and actually broke a sweat riding toward Buffalo Eddy. Nicki wanted 29 miles before turning around but no more. I don't think any of us really wanted to go the extra two miles or so to the eddy. I was concerned for the safety of the ice cream.

We had a head wind going north--what else is new? But it wasn't bad. We got into a pace line and made Helen spin to keep up. She did great but looked a bit played out back at Hell's Gate. And then she didn't eat any ice cream. What is wrong with some people?

Next Sunday, I think, Nick wants to do the Kendrick route starting again at 10. It's beginning to look as thought the Sunday, 1pm may be short-lived. Good to have some longer groups rides though.

For the ride of it.--Corrie
