COVID-19 has eliminated the idea of a bike ride with over 200 participants. What it hasn’t done is stop of us from remembering the best (and worst) of past rides. August is normally Ride Around Washington, RAW, month so here are my memories from some past rides. I have taken the liberty to change plenty of facts, if something is italics it is true (or at least how I remember it), plain text contains plenty of “alternative facts”.

Please treat our sponsors properly. Some need a fancy glass. A bit of ice might be required or a BBQ.

When the ride ends there will be a test. I expect to see a major discussion on one question, the good news is the US/Canadian border is closed and there will be no physical violence.

Enjoy my diversion, see you at the end of the ride.
