Thanks to Susan and Michael and Barbara and Nate for the ride support (and
clever Fleche trophy).

I've posted some pix as well--primarily focusing on Jennifer Chang's
experiment in solid food intake.  Always great to ride with Peg.   She's the
one who has the good sense to realize when we're lost while the rest of us
gab on about bikes, the weather, etc..

Nice route despite that fact that both central fender bolts and my saddle
bolts rattled loose from that dirt patch summit climb.  And special thanks
to Nate for patching my wonky front tire and doctoring my wounded rear
fender at the Travelodge control.

One week off and than I'm off to do the SIR 600k w/Peg as ride prep for the
Cascade 1200.  Wish me luck as this is new hardship territory for me.

Regards,

Lesli
