5/26/10 CAMP T4K DAY ONE

Mileage: 100! To Johnson City and back.

Riding for: Wen Zhu jie jie! Spent some time with her the weekend before camp t4k for Ruby’s graduation and she kept saying how amazed she was by what we’re doing. I’m amazed by her strength- such an incredible woman.

Riding buddies: Ana, Emily, Mariana / Charlie, Dyar, Gaydos, Mahek and Paul (towards the end)

Favorite moment: It’s a toss up between our low water crossing photo shoot and feeding horses at the rest stop!

Worst moment: Realizing I lost my ziploc baggie with Ruby’s apartment key, my debit card, and drivers license! Also maybe those last 20 miles.

Road to be reckoned with: Barton creek.. aka “The Hill of Redemption”

Quote of the day: “Git in yer man gear!” - Anonymous Truck Driver

Spotted on the road: Buncha Sierra Sistas! No Lance this time, unfortunately.

Tasted: PB(J), bananas, and Puresport. I guess we never really do jelly on these rides.

Post ride recovery gorge: Freebirds with Gaydos, Ana, and Mahek. Deeelicious!

Lil nugget o knowledge: Check your back pockets. Often. Also, Freebirds burritos are excellent with BBQ sauce. Thanks Mahek for that suggestion!

*got a call from a cyclist who found my stuff on the side of the road! Bicycle people are nice, i like them.
