We had a good turn out for the Tour de Heights and some great weather. Despite some miss-communication regarding who was supposed to get the food we all managed to survive. Pete was able to grab some grub in the RV on his way out to the rest stop. Cory and I rode the tandem, so we knew we would not be with the group for too long.
Donna and Suzanne were nice enough to wait for us after the Summitview climb.
We were able to catch on with the group by taking a few short cuts. That's Mark Cleaver on the vespa. He was apparently on a recovery ride that day.
Donna hitching a ride with the vespa. It's a sad sad site, the rainbow jersey hitching a ride with the vespa. Being fair to Donna this was more of an endurance ride, not a sprint. Mark never did come back and pull us along. And I say that thankfully, it probably would have ended with a vespa-tandem pile up in the middle of the road. The day just got better as we road. Cory and I skipped the small loop past Tieton and headed straight back. We got back first so technically we won. True, we didn't do the whole ride, but I just think of that as the tandem handicap. The day ended with a BBQ at the Revolution and the inauguration of Troy as club president.
