Take some advice from Katie "katiki" Forrest: When base training begins, let the passersby think you're nothing but a touring enthusiast out enjoying the weather...
This usually works if the weather is sunny, clear, and around 65. Unfortunately for the ladies of Team Wooly Mammoth, we did not encounter such favorable conditions on our training ride yesterday...
Participants :
Betty "Bettina" Hodges
Katie "Katiki" Forrest
Amy "Mickey" McNair
Conditions :
49 degrees and dropping w/a north wind gusting against our faces
The weather caused for remininscing of our days as Eastern European racers, conversations about our new Defeet sponsor and their fabulous, Ukrainian grade shoe covers, and general banter of the condition of our toes and fingers...
A romantic ride indeed...
