TCMC Party!

Last weekend was the TCMC end of summer party.  I was in charge of it - I hate being in charge!  Worked out OK - we cooked a pork shoulder in a wood broiler, a great site (The Gas-Lite in Trimbelle, WI).  After the pig was done it was drinking time for me - yea!

A couple of Pics:

The Pork shoulder (my first!)

We had a couple of banners - and some interesting places to put 'em.

Late for the ride

Okay, so Saturday it was my birthday, and the club was doing a ride.  I loaded the map into the GPS, filled the tank, and set out for the start point, Denny's.  I got there at 10:30, and there was only one bike.  Turns out  that, unlike our other rides, this one started at 10 AM.  The other bike was Tara, and she also thought the ride started at 10:30.  But the road captain had moved the time up, because the days are getting shorter.

So Tara and I are at least 30 minutes behind the ride.  So I thought about where we could meet them.  Then I thought, well we have the map, and we can do the same ride, even if it's just two of us. So we did.

We did it kind of fast, and just before 12:30, we caught up to the club when they all stopped for gas.

I'm glad I had the map, and experience leading rides before.
