[DVBC] Ride Report / Crash Report

Mon Mar 17 07:25:10 EDT 2008

Wow, Jon, sorry to hear about your crash but glad to hear that you're okay.
Sounds like although you need some work and parts, that your carbon frame is
okay.

Doug's ride was a blast Saturday.  Breakfast was most delicious.  I was in
the mood to train hard so I wouldn't let Doug wimp out and do the easier way
back.    Lots of good hills and I must say that Mary "Smiling Rookie" is
getting better all the time.  Must be all that training she's doing with
Dan.  Cheryl is also in good form.  We had a breakaway and were climbing
together.  Mary and Cheryl missed a turn and I went and got them.  Doug
decided to go that way after we came back down a hill which meant we had to
climb that monster a second time but that's okay, just more training.
