So I'm finally back to blogging about my local rides. I meant to add more RAGBRAI photos, but seem to have lost interest... Maybe later, one never knows.

MAD and I were invited to join Dave & Debbie & the rest of our regular Sunday cycling crew for a Labor Day weekend ride, followed by a BBQ/pool party at their Folsom home. Here's the starting group = lots of old friends and a handful of new!

From right to left, Kim, Clay, Heather, Debbie, Carol, Mark, Sean, MAD, Leah, Chris, Dave, Marianne, and Craig.

At our first potty break, here's Mark and his mega-watt smile!

Our former C Street neighbors and fun firefighters, Chris and Leah. Leah is a new cyclist and tough as nails! Chris is a super athlete and one of MAD's favorite boys in the world.

Here's our new friend and my birth-brother, Sean. Sean was born on my birthday/year!

Part of the ride out in the middle of Placer County. I don't know the routes (I'm a follower). We left from Folsom, went through Loomis, Penryn, ending up in the Virginatown Road area... It was a beautiful day.

Me and MAD, having a great time! LTD!!! (Living The Dream)
