I know, it's a little blurry, hey I was moving, they were moving, I was in front, camera was facing back. I think it's pretty good considering.

This could be a Christmas card.


We had a big turnout, with 3 different speed and mileage groups. We were so excited that Tony was able to join us today. The first eight miles were kept at a minimum pace which allowed us to all ride together and for me to take a few photos. Eventually the A group got ants in their pants and Mike, Barb, Susan and myself rode our own 40-mile B group out to Linger Lodge. We caught the A group later from University to Honore. It was exciting to try to keep up with them. We met up with the 25-mile group afterwards for breakfast at the Oasis Cafe.
