TDF

Tour de Foothills. I enjoyed the ride this year. Instead of trying to catch and stay with the big dogs this little dog just paced himself and was surprised to find I was not a wrung out lifeless lycra clad potato sack as I took on Baldy Road. The SAG stop at the top of the climb was still stocked with chocolate chip cookies as I arrived so this made for a good enough place for a quick pit stop. I rolled out armed with a back up water and my cookie. Life was good (until that cookie hit my stomach, note to self: cookie bad!!!)  But at least it was time for the payoff fast descent!! The traffic lights were a mild annoyance, but when rides give me lights, I practice baiting skills, I'm easily amused.Traded pulls with a guy on a Pinerello back to the finish line extravaganza that wasn't and waited for my wing man to roll in. The food was better this year but the non vegetarian lasagna had, shall we say, a dearth of what makes it non vegetarian, just say'n... All said and done I finished the 62 mile ride in under four hours with only one SAG stop and stayed awake during movie night with the wifey later. Looking forward to next year.... No stops.
