Slow and Somber

Did a Ride in Silence 10 mile cycle event this morning. Its is for awareness and hopefully activation of legislation for cyclists killed by motor vehicles. About 300 riders of all ages and ability came together. Several AZTRICLUB members met at a central location and rode there together.

The ride was from one LBS to another. Since my house was only a mile from the finishing location we all rode to my place and Mistress made breakfast and coffee for the nine of us from the team. While she selflessly worked away we talked and watched IMAZ 2006 on my DVR. Mighty Mo was very generous walking around and giving everyone a piece of his Christmas chocolates.

Later today Mistress and I are going to a big celebrity wedding in trendy north Scottsdale. I thought we could skate out a little early so I could pick up my tickets to the Seahawk / Cardinal NFL game tomorrow but Mistress has informed me that this is a very formal affair and this ain't your typical buffet style reception. Not that I want to turn down good grub but I don't want to be in a stuffy reception till the wee hours.

However she did finish by saying that the open bar is all top shelf liqueurs and that the beers are all import.

You live in a place that is so gorgeous in the winter. hey, are you guys doing the R&R Arizona marithon? I'm trying to put together a Marithon finish line party with margaritas and such. Of course, Grey Goose would be welcome, if that's your preference. :-)

There are many of us doing something with RnR this year. Most are doing the 1/2, very the full, since we have all done it one or more times already.

This year I am a wheelchair or celebrity volunteer. Meaning I will be riding my bike next to someone for assistance. For example if a wheelchair athlete needs a tire change.
