And then...there were Three!

Just got in from my mom's doing the family Christmas night and a good time was had by all, but it's been a long day. Having Char's family over for Christmas tomorrow so the last thing I need to be doing at the moment in blogging...however, saw that SuperDave's "Merry Christmas" post had a mention of the "grand G-town ride" so I figured I would give a quick recap.

It was going to be a beautiful thing...a good little 50 mile training ride that everyone was going to be able to make. Unbelievable, Waldon (not working on a Saturday), BBT in from Austin, Ward on the mend, Nixon "the new guy" coming out...It looked like we had a solid Eight.

SuperDave calls Friday evening and says he and BBT are out because of Christmas and spousal training conflicts...down to SIX!

Later Friday night Ward comes by to enjoy a few WAM's (Washington Apple Martini's) and leaves with a "I might make it, but don't wait on me"....down to Five!

We're all set for a 0900 hrs departure, 0730 hrs Waldon calls with a relapse on his stomach virus...down to Four!

0900 hrs - Me, Char, and Nixon are ready to roll, just waiting on the Doc...so I call to check on him...he's sleeping in...down to Three!

13 miles in, Nixon is hurting because he hasn't been able to ride much recently, so he heads in...down to TWO!

Weather was coming on quick so we decided to SAG at Yousef instead of the Mobil @ 74/30...still got caught by the rain on the way home. Not quite the ride I had envisioned but all and all still a good ride.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
