4/10/12-WIND-COLD AND CATHARTES AURA


TNR tonight was really a tale of two mindsets. Those that showed up to brave the elements and those that opted out. For the 13 that showed, I am sure they were glad they did. For those that did not, they were most likely just as glad they did not.
Howling winds and 38 degrees greeted the 13 as we assembled at the speedway. We broke bread and shared in the discomfort of the cold..and then the ride began. I have no sprint reports, as my brain was lacking oxygen and my mouth could not form words. I have no pictures, because I was wearing lobster claw gloves. This much I do know, some guys are meant to motor in any conditions and there were a few of them there tonight. To those that showed, well done. For those that decided on a more pleasant evening, we will see you next week.
One more thing. Cathartes Aura has discovered the ride. Four or five of them were feeding at the end of the 4th sprint. There presence now is a warning sign for future rides. Remember, there is safety in the herd. For those of you that are not sure what Cathartes Aura is. She is pictured above. Have a good week, see many of you on Saturday at the team meeting.
