Lucy,

Congratulations to you and Roo!  What a wonderful ride story...I read every word.  NOT boring at all!  I love all the details...it's like I was riding along with you!  :)  Are you still using your Barefoot saddle?

Roo and I completed our first 100 at Patriot last weekend and
it's taken me this long to write the story and get everything
straight. I still haven't found all my stuff and am still flopping
about all over the place like a pathetic wet sock. It's like having
heat stroke, *I* think I'm OK until I try and do anything vaguely
complicated and realise what a waste of space I am.

Patriot 100 was way more fun than I thought it was going to
be and grateful thanks goes to Kassandra DiMaggio and her
crew of volunteers for putting on an excellent and perfectly run
ride. Special thanks to all the volunteers we kept out in the dark
waiting for us to crawl by. The trail was fun - an excellent mixture
of a bit of everything and the views were lovely. I even enjoyed
the heat... kinda...

Also special thanks to Farrier Ted for fixing us when we got done
broke.

The story can be found here:

Hopefully it's not too dull as I got a bit verbose about it (still totally
stoked by this ride!).
