Today was perfect...I slept in, had a leisurely breakfast at a real bagel shop, and basically spent the day relaxing. Well, there was a brisk walk over to the IMAX theater where a group of us saw "Wired to Win," about how the brain is programmed for us to strive for success. It featured shots from the Tour de France. We keep trying until we get it right - whether it's riding a bike, playing an instrument, or rolling a kayak. It's interesting, how the human brain continues to motivate us to succeed even in the face of failure.
Afterwards, I walked with David F. to REI, where I decided to replace my bike gloves with some fancy-schmancy Cannondale gel gloves. We'll see how that works out!
For dinner, a group of us went to the Northern Lights brewery. It was a really fun group...we were treated to a story about Moon's watch. It's probably not as funny reading this entry - it's one of those stories where ya just had to be there.
The ride itself has really taken on the characteristics of camp for Big Kids, complete with the Head Counselor/Ride Director, Paula...various staff (Mark & Dennis)....nurse/bike mechanic, Alan...our massage therapist extraordinaire, Anna-Marie (ok, so they didn't have that at day camp) and all of us kids/campers/bikers....
