before returning to their campsite before their rider woke up.
And I will say, I just can not imagine personally
taking the time to um, er, a...... do anything BUT sleep the night before the
ride. But maybe there are some riders who have different "rituals' than others
to prepare them for the day ahead.
I have no idea where he was conceived, but CA
endurance riders Jock and Pam Johnson had names their little one Tevis.
Geez, he is not little anymore I'm sure!!!
