Well, it's been a nasty cold week of Sacramento weather. On Monday night I cruised out to Sacramento's Midtown for drinks and girl-talk with my college buddy, Antoinette. Mary Ann later joined us. Here's me securing my cool Protec lid for the ride home.
Leaving Ink, one of our favorite drinks-n-eats places. I highly recommend the "metropolitan" - much better than a cosmopolitan! Here's one of Mary Ann's 10 bikes - a vintage Schwinn cruiser we call the "Bruiser."
On Tuesday, Mary Ann and I braved the foul weather to get some mileage in. Here's me in front of the state capitol building.
Mary Ann in downtown Sacramento. We are freezing, but happy!
And then we hit scenic Old Town Sacramento. Fun and historic, but those cobblestones are painful...
Here we cross over the Sacramento River to access the American River bike path. Some kindly tourists snapped our photo. And no, Mary Ann did not grow an extra foot - she's standing up on the curb.
Cruising along the bike path. I read in the paper that the pro teams may be out practicing on this route in preparation for the Tour of California, but we had the place all to ourselves on this nasty cold day.
But next thing we know, we see a very fast team speeding towards us. I hopped off my bike and prepared my camera!
Five very serious looking members of the Rabobank team sped by me. Too fast for me to even say good luck. Well, really I would have asked them to say hi to Lance for me...Tomorrow I am meeting Paula to pick up my VSP jersey. Saturday morning we will be back in downtown Sacramento, riding the 2.4-mile route of the prologue. The forecast is 70% chance rain with a high in the low 50's. Ugh. Let's pray for sunshine...
Love to all.
