I dinged my hamstring pretty badly yesterday due to a very weird fall (my fault entirely) so won't be able to lead any Monday and Wed night rides for the next few weeks. If someone would step up and help out Bruce on Mon night, and Bridget on Wed night I'd really appreciate it. Don

Don - sorry to hear and wishing you a rapid and complete recovery.

Dr. Bruce / Bridget - I'm happy to assist tonight and either/both Mon/Wed nights going forward until (and after) Don is back in the saddle. That includes lead or sweep, or split if there'a high turnout. See you at the meeting point tonight by 5:45.

My pleasure. We had a good ride, slight alteration on your suggested route (and clockwise), a bit over 28 miles at 14.3mph average. Big thank you to Brian who rode sweep, keeping company with anyone who climbed a bit slower, and taking the baton on the last section back on W Mountain so I could head home. I don't think our gap ever stretched more than a few hundred yards gap, and closed rapidly on the flats or at intersections.
