Herding Cats

The phrase herding cats comes from the common saying that something involving coordination of many different groups or people is as difficult as herding cats. Yesterday's ride was definitely one that supports this saying. Discussion was had the night before about riding to Big Mtn, but when the 3 Amigos showed up for departure everyone had their own idea where they should ride. The decision was made to do the Suncrest Loop to avoid wind and possible rain and ride south along Wasatch Blvd. However, Prez. Hale had a different idea and wanted to ride a flatter, more congested route, full of cars and stop lights, which Big Man has a hard time obeying early in the morning. So they headed out 1300 East. A couple of shiny objects were spotted and yes, Big Man had to stop and take a few pics.

The ride up the south side of Suncrest was delightful as construction made it possible for the riders to enjoy two full lanes of NO cars. Once at the top, YES, Mr. MBA was once again KOM, a quick stop at the summit cafe for lattes, hot chocolate and Big Man singing to elderly couples, "Oh What A Beautiful Morning", and the riders were ready for the descent.

Once again, herding cats came into play as Big Man wanted to go one way and others wanted to ride a more boring route home. Where is Kim Briggs when you need a leader. (Sure miss that guy)  Let's just say they started together, but didn't finish together. As Big Man continues to study about leadership, he still is hopeful that someday he will be able to lead. The question is, will anyone follow???
