Just Keith (too-fast Keith) and his racing friend Chris (too-fast Chris) who, thankfully, were in a pretty mellow mood. If they had been looking for fast, they would have opted for this-morning's low-key hill climb race up Mt Hamilton. Heck, if I'd been in good shape, I'd want to do that myself! The original plan had been for a slow-but-steady ride out to the coast, but between a hacking cough Kevin was developing and my depleted energy levels while dealing with this bug I brought back from Thailand, we opted for the regular ride, nothing more. Sure, would have been nicer to spend more time out there, but all things considered, it seemed like the right thing to do. Get back into the rotation and hopefully do something more-challenging on Sunday! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Amazing how many people we saw out riding, walking, jogging. Not shopping. I'm sure we had some people frustrated that Chain Reaction wasn't open, and we did have some calling on Wednesday to see if we would be. Such calls surprise me, but they don't offend. Strange world. --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/wolhIMG_0675.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2013-11-28 23:31:06 Post date GMT: 2013-11-29 07:31:06 Post modified date: 2013-11-28 23:31:06 Post modified date GMT: 2013-11-29 07:31:06 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
