Got started on this at 8 AM with the primary purpose of seeing if I could meet up with Mr & Mrs. Kahn on their bikes who, when they travel out of SoCal, tend to delay their waking hour and, therefore, their pedal start. There is no doubt they will get in a much longer ride and a faster cadence overall than Yours Truly, but I generally have them beat on the "Ride At The Crack Of Dawn" detail. It's how I'd like to condition myself for Touring: If the organizers of brevet or century say start time is 6:30 AM, I like being on the line at 6, fueled and geared and ready to knock out the mileage. In any event, this morning, I allowed for 8 AM start because Chris indicated 9:30 rollout in AG where they were staying; as it turned out, I was on the last-third and heading for home (in order to catch Sox-Yanks @ 10 AM) when their OM about just leaving house AT 10 sounded on the SPP. One other noteworthy thing about this ride is that I thought perhaps that there was a good chance Eclair Bakery (a small biz I admire for its one-man show over a ten-year span) in The Village might be open for me to pick up some baked good to store away in handlebar bag and enjoy with delayed-to-late-morning Sacred Cup of Kenyan-grown/Colorado-roasted. Alas, 'twas Shut, but I did take the ride's photo of CT in front of its entrance.
