Whew!



New posts will be sparse today, perhaps there won't be any at all. Every year our wonderful local retreat house, Queen's House, has a bike-a-thon fundraiser. It used to be an overnight event that went from here to another city about 3 hours away by car, in conjunction with their retreat house. They had to change it to a day ride last year when the other group couldn't get their portion organized. It turned out that they could raise pretty much the same amount of money this way. It seems that most people make a lump sum donation so it doesn't matter if a person goes one kilometer or 200.

Because it was a day ride last year, SWMBO rode her one-speed coaster bike in it and did really well, going all the way there and about a third of the way back. I drove a pace/refreshment car. To make a long story short, we're doing it again this year, and it's today. I may post this evening if we get back in time to do so. I will be back tomorrow. See you then!
