Save a cycling life… invoke rule #1

Skipping School
It’s Tuesday morning, and it’s raining… and I stayed in bed and skipped the TMWC. Now what if this turns out to really be an El Nino year? 1. We’ll get all kinds of random training in, making us more like surfers who depend on good waves to surf their arms off and no waves..
“That’s right! Ice… man. I am dangerous.”

Never heard of that before
“Never heard that before”… I’ve heard that response to one of my ideas countless times. This time, I had the idea to do a rolling road closure for our annual charity bike ride… like they do for funerals. How cool would it be if we could do the TMWC with Sheriff’s escort for the ride?…..
