We had a great last ride with Rick today, a little sadness but mostly laughs and good times. The group rode up to the Java Slut for coffee and snacks, then hit the Alpine Dam loop. A beautiful ride as always. And of course there was attacking early & often from James R.
Rick was uncharacteristicall y on good behavior almost the whole time, and I was beginning to think he might go the entire ride without flipping anybody off or yelling snide comments at clueless drivers. We even got through Sausalito without incident. But true to form, Rick finally came through on the bridge on the way home...we had a slow guy riding in front of us on a 4-wheeled recumbent type thing. The guy was probably disabled and was riding really slow, basically blocking the whole lane. Finally Rick gets fed up, pulls along side me and says, "Dude, tell Stephen Hawking he's holding everybody up!!!" and then proceeds to scoot past the guy. Classic!
Rick, it's been a pleasure having you on the team these past couple years. We wish you luck and success in New York, and please come back and see us when you can. Like it or not, you are a permanent part of the Mouse family!
Hugs,
