Seven Crazy Ladies met at the Southway Boat Launch at 7:50 for an 8:00 am ride in an attempt to beat the heat! After looking and laughing at some kayak pictures and a nice photo collage (with captions) that Sandie put together from the trip, Jennifer, Joel, Sheila, Julie, Leane, Helen and our newest lady Camille Seubert headed for the blue bridge. Although we would have rather gone over the other bridge, there was so much glass on it that we feared we would all flat out. Julie intends to go fix that with a broom, although, I am not sure if she was going to use the broom on the bridge or on the bridge maintenance crew.

Hearing helicopter sounds we decided to investigate the doings along Hwy 129. The bike path was closed several places and all that was confusing, but taking Clemens road offered us a great view of the activity along the rock cliffs. Finally heading up for the peace and quiet of Asotin Creek, Jennifer (Starbucks Power!) was always in the lead…with the rest of the ladies pedaling and talking trying to keep up with Jennifer! Asotin Creek was really nice with the shade and the sound of the creek.

Returning back to the parking lot nearly three hours and 26 miles later, the ladies decided that since Leane and Ellen (the two sleepy headed ladies) were not riding on Wednesday, August 6 they would start even earlier. They will meet at (gasp!) 6:50 am and leave promptly at 7:00 am. For all those early birdies who want to ride next Wednesday, join up with the Crazy Ladies for a ride…and be sure to wish Pat a speedy recovery from a broken wrist.
