As I prepare for tomorrows ride,  I have boxed up stuff I don't need and am sending it home.  I want to lighten my load.  I am keeping much of my warm weather gear even though we struggle with high temperatures.  I hope to remove about 10 lbs of stuff.  We will see if I can accomplish this.  I want to do a little laundry.  Perhaps see a local museum.  Rest with air conditioning and maybe wade in the river. The woman I have met each have their own chores to make ready for tomorrow.  Many of them busily solving problems, helping one another with the days tasks.  

Thanks to the bike Techs in Anacortes, my bike is shifting well again.  I miss my Carbon fiber trek bike as it is much faster then my stainless steel.  Perhaps I am just getting older and spin slower.  I watch women come in yesterday, completely exhausted after their 90 mile ride.  Wow,  they are amazing. The sag worked triple hard to help the women.  The guides working at the top of their game to assist and encourage the gals.
