Hiya everyone!

Wow, what a great group of riders! We awoke today (Respectively) between 5:00 and 6:30 to the sound of rain. Not the “Hey, maybe I should ask Noah for a ride home” kind of rain we had experienced the night before, but close. I quickly used my six minutes and ten seconds of experience from meteorology school (I watched a YouTube video one night when I couldn’t sleep) and determined that the storm blowing through. Weatherman Tim, from a competing station across town quickly confirmed my forecast. Together, we advised the riders to go fast, and carry a long metal pole… No, wait, it was take your time at breakfast, we’re going to leave a little later today to let everything dry up a bit.

There were a few light sprinkles here and there, but for the most part, we did well- although a high temp of 71 with a cool sea breeze was unusually cool. 

One rider did go down today, and unfortunately had to go home- we’re all glad that he’s not more seriously hurt and wish him a quick recovery and that he rejoins us ASAP. 

Bikes loaded in the UPS semi, riders on the buses, back to their loved ones they went- down 95S from Biddeford ME to Woburn MA, then on to wherever home is. 

A few laughs had here after their departure , a couple massages, some changes in assignments and vehicle lineups, and now, bed. 

Keep the wind at your back and the downhills in front of you
