As I was talking with Christine about the pictures, this missive from her Mother popped into my mailbox: It is 6:00 p.m. and Christine & Tim are at Canajoharie, New York. They called after they had a dip in the pool at the middle school. Christine says that they rode up a 220-foot elevation change. She is real proud of herself for making it up the hill. Tim says she isn't a HILL SLUG anymore. She was passing people who were riding and also walking their bikes. She wants everyone to know that hills are all relative; the people who run this tour also run a tour that is all hills. Tomorrow is a short trip into Scotia, New York. My husband has taken the bandage off my head and my incision looks real good. We're going out to dinner tonight. Play break at Little Falls, New York Decisions, decisions: To take the road for a hilly ten-mile detour? Or take the flat but very muddy flooded trail? We took the road . . .
