It was a special day for Kevin- his first ride on his new super-duper Madone 6-Series custom-painted hot-rod. It would have been fitting for him to put in another really fast ride up the hill, but he hadn’t ridden since last Friday (in France) and it showed. Good thing, that, since we started in a fairly cool fog, which doesn’t do much for my breathing.

Another large group, another day I won’t be able to remember everybody, but good people, all of them. And we saw the return of Kevin the Pilot, who’d been on vacation for a month (and I felt guilty about 11 days?), as well as, on our return, Karl (who was just cruising around a bit on the flats, nursing his collarbone injury back to health).
