As the trail usually is a sandy beach this time of year, it was a treat riding Island Lake tonight as the trails were firm, like my "G" used to be back in the day. We welcomed back a new rider in recent weeks, E, who completed his coaching stint in the Hi-White baseball/softball league. I am told his teams did quite well so way to go Gus posse! We actually passed some people tonight on the trail so the "blind squirrel" theory proved true. That couple pushing the baby carriage were going hard but we managed to pass them on the 13th mile.
The post ride consisted of the shortest balloon ride I have ever witnessed (it was up and down before you could say "cool balloon") and some junior high flashbacks. Whatever happened to Todd Morey, Doug Kivimaki, and Dawn Barrett? Can I get a shout out to the Brinckerhoffs?
