Thank you Maria. Looking forward to the up and coming year. The rides will continue. Nobody is going to get lost or attacked by a hungry bear looking for Honey Stinger gels. Better riding conditions are just around the corner.

I never posted a reason for deciding to stop leading nor did I imply I was "burned out" so i'm not sure why this is being assumed. I appreciate all the "thank-you" notes I have received. I have enjoyed every mile of our rides together. It seemed like each ride couldn't get any better until we did the next ride! The time I spent putting each route together was a fun challenge and worth it. Our rides got even better when Gary, our certified mechanic joined us. I will continue to ride, I just don't want to lead anymore.

He is the only leader that I have known since I have been with the Gyros (2003-4), and he remains in that post into the distant future. I hope that we don't ever take him for granted! Great hearing from you, Nancy! I hope that all is well. Is there a chance that you might take the lead of the B group once again? ---- Nancy Hamilton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Maria > After I passed the torch of B group leader to you, you carried it well.
