Q: Honey, what do you want to do for our wedding anniversary?

A:  I don't know, but we should do something special for our 22nd.

Q:  Lets, see, here's an ad for a wine tasting cycling tour in Napa.  That sounds nice.  Or here's another one for a restaurant that does a nice job with special events in Carmel--we could get some friends together for dinner.  What do you think of those?

A:  None of those quite sound right, honey.  Here, I found it!:

"Just a four hour drive from just about anywhere!  Land of few services, no even ground to set up rollers, and freeze cracks that have swallowed many wheels and loosened countless aerobars!  Yes, come to Sattley, CA!  You and your sweetie can get up way too early and dine on crummy hotel breakfast food, experience the rocking porta-potties on trailers, and then ride your bike as hard as you can for about an hour!  (Puking optional.)"

I love you, honey!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, the conditions were about as good as they come in Sattley--cool and very very light wind.  It was great to see all the friendly Bella faces.  I was glad I wasn't in the individual competition--the categories were stacked with fast fast women!  I predicted the 50+ winner would beat the time of the 45+ winner, but wouldn't go out on a limb to say who it would be.  Very happy to see that it was Liz B--and she actually had the fastest time of ALL the master women!!  The tandem fields were tiny this year.  Unfortunately, our competition (Tom & Bella Karin) got a flat at the turnaround.  But we had a PR for the course so we were pretty happy.  And I've been eating ever since.  Except for the times that I've been nauseous.

And here is a pic of Migo either telling us he was pissed that he spent too much time in the car this trip, or perhaps toasting our celebration........

o.k., you are now empowered to remind me about ANY bella order out there.  I seem to miss my share of them and kick myself afterwards.  The Kitties are also empowered to tell me what to order since they seem to always get cute stuff, too.

You guys were awesome! I just looked at the results and it appears you had the fastest tandem time of the day - even beating the elite men! Way to rock it!

Here is my race report for Sattley:

Sarah,

thanks for the cheer when we passed eachother on the course--i sorta waved with my right hand but it may not have been noticeable--it's all i could do!

good job on a good ride--21 mph for over an hour is nothing to snot at!
