Picked up Lin today, who graciously agreed to spell Monique off for driving for a few days. As she arrived I instantly got a flat. My foot pump actually blew apart (never had this happen before) and I was wondering if we had picked up a bad luck charm. Had no other incidents, so I guess we'll keep her.
Her 1st Anniversary was yesterday - happy Anniversary Lin and Jeff, may there be many, many more.
Very few cyclists on road today (DUH...) but met Carolyn heading for Banff
Went through Rogers Pass Summit and literally ripped through 8 tunnels at speeds which shouldn't be put in writing. The mountain views were exceedingly ominous - peaks lurking in the fog and clouds all day long.

The merch is working! The other day someone asked what my cycling jersey was all about and I gave them the best explanation I could at a red light.
ReplyDeleteWe'll get the word out.
can't wait to see you!
love jen.
Riding away from you on Monday was a difficult thing, having been witness to the flat, the pump issue, and leaving my wife behind with you.. but I knew you just needed to get back to the tour, and another ride-along shepherd wasn't going to speed it up for you. As for Lin..don't worry.. she's actually been very good luck for me, heh heh!
ReplyDeleteI admire greatly what you're doing, and I'm grateful we can contribute in some way. You've done so much for Lin.. I know she admires you, and so do I. We'll be with you on the entire trip in spirit... you be careful. See you in Calgary!
You should all know that the said paparazzi needed to exceed the speed limit through the Rogers Pass tunnels to try to keep up with Speedy Gonzales. His garmin watch clocked his fastest time at 87.5 and the speed limit through those is actually 70 kms per hour.
