Subject: [mottino-y-tri] This morning's ride congratulations

Hi Everyone,

So this morning Robert, Beth, Annastasia, Tanya (Jet's sister), Peggy and
Jannee and myself head out for a nice cool morning bike ride. At the strand
we are joined up with The Brian and Wendi and we set out for the usual 20-30
miler. The Brian held his testosterone in check...thank you, next time go
get 'um! Everyone was doing so well that we continued on thru Solana Beach,
only to have the Koshleys suggest a Torrey Pines run. We send them off as
they needed to conquer and get home so their daughter (babysitter) would let
them ride again. But the seed was planted! So we head down to the base of
Torrey and rethink strategy as for some this was the farthest they have ever
gone and we still had to ride back. Please congrat Annastasia and Jannee as
they went and did Torrey Pines! Then we all rejoined and headed back up the
coast to the harbor. Along the way we got hungry so we stopped off at B&L
for bars, restroom, and refill water (I also talked to Drew while we were
there about getting club discounts...more to come on that). It was so cool
hanging out in the back lot, refueling, cit-chatting and I just reflected on
how awesum our club is. Well back on the road we went and boy did that
refuel take effect. Peggy just barreled up the hills, Beth got a pace line
started and Robert was sending us off to chase "boys on bikes". Tanya had a
grin on her face the whole time (Jet, she would like some speedplay pedals
and a jersey!), our little mtn biker with her cotton t-shirt ;-) Someone
suggested going to Potato Shack (we resisted), Pannikan (line was out the
door) and I'm very surprised that a coffee shop wasn't visited...I believe
we all were on a bike high!

Mileage 43.95
Average pace 12.6
And for Tanya...max 32.7 :)

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend, you all deserve it!
