Today was a rest day. So I rested. It was a very nice day. Everybody went their own way. Some went for a hike. Some went to the local winery. Many did a little bike maintenance. The high point of the day was watching David repair Dawn’s tire. When all was said and done there were five patches on the tube – but it did hold air. Then there was Jean who put two patches on her tube and missed the puncture both times. We won’t mention my blow-out.

All in all it was a very nice day. And on top of it all it was my birthday. Diane had a very nice chocolate cheesecake with a candle in it for desert. It was a good birthday. Tomorrow we ride again.
