Tour de Frederick, Saturday 15 August

[Kitty]

Sorry Pete!!! Things got busy at the end of last week so I didn’t get a chance to catch the forums before I left. I was at Tour de Frederick and rode the century.

If you saw a girl on a cross-bike in a Bike Arlington jersey, that was me.

If nothing else maybe we can swap stories if you’ll be at Thursday’s Happy Hour

Boomer, Colin & Powerful Pete, after fueling up on apple pie, blueberry cobbler and tomato/mayo sandwiches…ok, maybe hold the mayo next time?

After 100 miles, nothing but smiles[emoji1]

Kitty, we spoke to you, I guess – Boomer asked you about the jersey and informed you about the mental-illness that is BAFS?

I’d hoped that was the case! (Though I’m trying to remember what BAFS is?) It was really fun to have that rolling connection before I lost the pack.

I ended up riding solo for most of the route, which was kind of nice in its own way. (So long as I knew people were still behind me, I didn’t feel bad about losing sight of people ahead) By my next century I hope to have saved up enough for a set of road tires which might help a bit.

Of course! “Bike. Arlington. Freezing. Saddles.” Duh… It until I left my computer and was brushing my teeth to come to me.
