Started out with Pete, but he rode past the first rest stop and was hanging with the lead group, but was getting dropped. I rode by him but he did not catch his wheel, and I failed to catch on with the lead group also, who were drafting behing a motorcyle. Pete made it to the Bass Lake rest stop as I was leaving, and I figured he'd catch me on the 4 mile climb up from the power station, but he didn't, so I waited for him at the school while catching up with Teresa, who looked pretty good and was in great spirits in spite of her injured shoulder from when she was hit by a car recently. Pete and I rode on into the finish together, and only 3 riders had preceded us. Then, we discovered that Jerry's Prius had a dead battery because the lights were left "on" in a manual setting, so Pete rode back to the hotel and I had AAA come to start Jerry's car up, and ran Pete's dinner to him before taking the car back for Jerry. Then, I rode back to the hotel also. Turns out, this was Kirsten's 50th double completed, and she was hanging out with a group of friends, including Alex, the guy with whom I worked between the 1st and 2nd rest stops.
