THINGS ARE A FLYING SUNDAYS RIDE 8/21/05

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of our Sunday Ride.
This Sunday we had the following people meet at our favorite spot "Old Town Bicycle". There was Ray aka "Rat Man", Chris, aka "SpeedDemon", Ivan, aka "I'm going to Italy for three months", Dave, aka "I have a nice new SEAT", and then there was myself.
We meet at 9 am and had a brief discussion oh what route we wanted to take. Ray said "Lets do the Stelicoom ride, it's only 35 miles". Yes it was only 35 miles... Of HILLS. I felt like I was going to just die. But I said "Ok, lets do it". We went along the water front and up into the tunnel and down to Point Defense. We did the five mile drive for a little warm up. Point defense was a indication of more hills to come. The weather was great. We meet lots and lots of other riders. When we reached Stelicoom we had our coffee break. This very nice Lady at the coffee shop toped off all of our water bottles. When she filled my bottle the water shot up and squirted her dead in the face. I told her that happens a lot to me. She laughed so hard we could still here her five minutes later.
Speaking of things flying in peoples faces. Ivan was hit in the face by some foreign substance that flew off of the bike of Chris. We found out what it was.... It was DOG CRAP.... Dear god in heave thank GOD it was not me. I would of crashed my bike. Dave was also hit on his upper lip by some bug that literally exploded all over the side of his upper lip. I had rocks flying all over the place. This bike ride was just plain WILD.
Well over all it was just plain fun. Next week we may go down to Daves neck of the woods (The Lacey area), and do a 50 mile ride. Keep looking at the comments and this blog for updates. That's it for now.

Remember hug a friend and wear clean undies....And I'll see ya on the road.
