[DVBC] Adventures in Painting

[Edward Sobolewski]

Thanks Nancy and Mel; I really had a good time today riding with you guys.
You did a fantastic job.

 

Although you might be a little sore today, tomorrow you are going to feel
all good about it;  I hope we can do it again next year.  I know, I know;
Nancy swears she we never do it again, but she might change her mind in a
week or so when all the pains and aches go away.  Nancy, you are awesome.

Thanks again for the company.

Edward

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on our adventure today. I had a really good
time, except for not getting that shot reading the paper. It feels a lot
better though, sitting here with the heating pad on my shoulder.

Ed, Mel and I set out on our painting assignment.  Part way up the first
real hill, Ed asked us if we had our bikes in the wrong gear as Mel and I
were lagging behind him.  I answered that I hadn't been expecting to sprint
the first 5 miles to our first arrow.  Ed had it all worked out that we
would save lots of time by each taking an arrow.  He would do the first, I
would do the actual turn & Mel would do the confirmation.  It took Mel and
me so much longer to get to each intersection, that a lot of time could have
been saved if Ed had painted all three, then Mel & I wouldn't have had to
get off our bikes at all!  At mile 20, we were through painting, Mel and his
sore shoulder went back to his car and I decided to do an additional 45
miles with Ed.  We dined at Wawa, a banana each (Ed treated!).  Saw Dan &
Misty going the opposite direction on Creek Road.  Ed decided to take
Meeting House Road instead of the r eal route because of the condition of
that road.  This is where my legs started cramping - Sven, where were you
with your Tums?  I will always carry them now.  After running into Bob
Ladrew at the top of Sweetwater, I was all alone and out of water.  I
stopped at a house where a woman was gardening and asked for help.  While
she ran into the house and got ice water for me, her young son squirted me
with his squirt gun!  Very refreshing!  The reason Ed did a century is
because of all the miles he put in riding back and forth waiting for me.
Thanks Ed, it was a lot of fun and hard work.  And thanks to Mel, my buddy
in slowness.

PS  After getting home I sat in my car for about 5 minutes thinking about
the amount of energy it was going to take to get out.  I am pooped!
