Hi Sir James,
My name's Bill Taylor. We've met a few times over the years when
I've made it out for your Tuesday night rides, and most recently on
Sunday's Montebello ride.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the map that you gave me on
your way out of Montebello. Without it, I wouldn't have made it back
to Cumberland. As it was, I left the pack that I rode up to
Montebello, because I wanted to visit a school in the area that I
attended many years ago. Also, I was having problems keeping up with
the group I was riding with on account that Sunday I ended up riding
180 kms after little to no riding since the RLCT. Oh well, all
worked out fine, and once again, I've learned the need to keep up
with the cycling so as to maintain the conditioning.
All the same, I had a great time.
Thanks again,
Bill Taylor
