Since I showed up even though it was below 40 and cloudy I will have to add my 2cents about Donna *not* showing up. Donna, we never considered you were still in bed. We kept waiting, knowing you would turn into the parking lot any second. Thanks for motivating us to show up! It actually turned out to be a fun ride even if it was cold at times.
This was my first time using the bar mitts and I had way too much glove on. It took less than 5 minutes to switch the mitts to Neal's bars. Neal only wore his liners and even that may have been too much. Hammer has an article about them (http://www.hammernutrition.com/downloads/ENews/ENissue66.html) and 20% off. We also had to deal with the 2 tiny dogs in the road on Doc Nichols but fortunately we had no problems. Rick told us about the crash @PUE and sorry to hear about it. We will remember the location and be on the look out ... if they don't get run over by a car soon. I guess there are no leash laws in that area to protect them? Thanks again!
