Explore, Dream, Discover

Saturday rides for the PCRs are all about "ADVENTURECISE", and last week's route, sponsored by MBA, lived up to this motto.

• Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.- Mark Twain
•  Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul – Jaime Lyn Beatty
•  We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. – Jawaharla Nehru
• Adventure is worthwhile in itself – Amelia Earhart
•  Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour – Eckhart Tolle
•  If happiness is the goal – and it should be, then adventures should be top priority – Richard Branson

Pick any of the above quotes and make them apart of your DNA. There was one rider that was NOT going to miss out on this adventurecise, even though he forgot his cleats. So like a true trooper, Prez. rode 70 miles in his fancy blue sneakers. There were times when he fell behind the pace-line, but he was bound and determined to ride to the finish line and retrieve the fritters that he had ordered from a NOT too happy cashier. Some people just wake-up on the wrong side of the bed. 

MBA learned that "sponsoring" a route is totally different than "leading" a route and decided to ride solo for a period of time, while the rest of the group tried to figure out where the leader had gone. Leading these riders is always a challenge when their are squirrels in sight.

 "What, you don't like my BLUE shoes with my RED outfit?"

 Squirrel, Squirrel, Squirrel

 Could we PLEASE get a group shot? 

Bald Mtn, it might be until July

 What kind of birds are these?

This is WHY we take a few minutes to get out of the city... :-)

Where's Prez. Hale when you need him??
