Yes, we did ride last Thursday (but did anybody else?)

No question that high-viz apparel plus daytime flashing lights makes a significant difference!

Sorry for the very late write-up, but things got a bit busy as I was getting ready for Friday’s departure to Australia and Cambodia with my wife.

It wasn’t bad Thursday morning; wet roads, yes, but it had stopped raining some time before. But nobody showed up, except for myself and Kevin (not the pilot; he was off flying to Sydney). We took it pretty easy heading up Kings, almost but not quite a conversational pace. Has to be pretty slow for me to take part in a conversation up a hill, and we weren’t quite that slow!

It’s going to be really tough, two weeks off the bike. Yikes. But Tuesday, we get a visit from Nigel, a former regular from the UK, who’s going to be back out here for at least one ride, hopefully more. He claims to have been off his bike for two months, but I’m skeptical. Also relieved that I won’t be there to see how much faster someone who’s been off the bike for two months is than me. Hate that.
