My former colleague and dear friend Bill sent me this re-cap of our Bike Around the Buttes ride. It's too funny not to share. "After last year's BAB where "hometown" team member Bill Williams "whimped out" because of inclement weather disappointing a strong Bay Area contingent that had braved the difficult conditions, this was supposed to be a strong comeback year for team Ramshackle. Unfortunately, after a strong start, the youth brigade faded at the 60 mile mark with unspecified physical or mental ailments, possibly it was a lack of Brie at the rest stops. Mechanical troubles fell the Paul and Dian duet, forcing a SAG assist for Paul before the halfway mark. Left with a decimated team, Team Ramshackle's graybeard/redhead duo soldiered on facing [not so] stiff headwinds and a flat tire during the last twenty miles. Unfortunately, they too were disqualified for having cut the course short by 12 miles. Some even speculated that they wouldn't have been able to finish the full 100 mile course based upon the amount of whining from the two during the last leg as headwinds seemed to come from every direction. All in all, a tough day for cycling's most misbegotten team."

Oh, is it brie you want this year? I thought it was that one from Cowgirl Creamery....
Bill was just ragging on those of us from the Bay Area. You know how those Valley cowboys like to poke fun at the Bay Area...
Headwinds do come from all directions!
