Last Ride

Lynn's last ride yesterday was a short ride (56 miles) and flat. There was one stretch of shake and bake but that was not too bad. Mostly, she rode alone on this ride. Riding into St Simon's there was a lot more traffic than there had been --but as she said that, it didn't seem to phase her either.

After the ride, Lynn said she saw Crazy Tom in tights and a cape and he was wearing a bright pink wig. Can you imagine him on the bike trying to get into a superman pose in that outfit?

Lynn also went by a dead armadillo without decorations. But, she asked Lamar who was behind her if the animal had beads when he went by and he said, "Yes" and just shook his head. She could just imagine Crazy Tom in that "get-up" riding over the armadillo decorating it as he zoomed past.

She then took a long bus ride back to Oxford where her brother picked her up and took her to Atlanta to spend the night.

This morning, she is on the way back to the good state of NC. There was sadness and fatigue in her voice. She was really worried about this week but she said everyone was so good to her there. She met some fantastic people. Louis seemed to be very special to her. Dave and Lamar and Audrey were also apparently great. She was very thankful to Dave for introducing her to Audrey. The whole Posse will definitely be missed by her. I'm sure she will try to keep in touch with them all. She asked me to extend a big thank you to everyone who made her feel so loved this week.

Lynn's ankle held up good, though the swelling is still there. Over this week, she logged about 555 miles of riding! Yet, she is worried about not working out today. Can you believe her?
