Everything seems to be in high gear. Well, everything except MAIL CALL!!!

A log of his bicycle ride from Houston to Austin (aka... MS150)
- "I can't believe it. All this preparation for the MS 150 and when it comes down to show time, I can't decide what to wear or how to pack!
- 5:46 am All dressed up waiting. Come on 6:45
- 6:16 am Tailwind
- 8:26 am Mile 25. First stop
- 4:41 pm Had a crash at mile 36. A rider went down in front. Put me in the ditch.
- 4:44 pm Finished the ride for the day. 100.87 miles
- 4:47 am Headwinds this morning for the last 75 miles
- 12:48 pm 17.3 miles to go. Feeling good today!
- Miraculously, after running over a bike, getting hit by the bike behind me, going off the road and down the embankment, stopping in the bottom of a ditch, still clipped in and on the saddle, my bike and I were still completely intact and uninjured. How often does that happen?

Crusin' Gulfway Drive
FACEBOOK has a link that allows readers to send in memories of our "crusin' days. That gave me an idea for my NEWSLETTER. Write me your memories of these days long ago. I'll print them in this section of the NEWSLETTER. Also, if you have any other ideas to pep up our updates, Mike and I would appreciate it. Sometimes we get a little discouraged at the input. But, we will keep on truckin. Let me hear from you.
