Last Tuesday Hot Mama Ride in Tamarancho
As planned, last Tuesday Sep 19th the Hot Mamas met at Java Hut in Fairfax. By 5:30 pm Coral, Dolores, Tom and Celia started pedaling toward Tamarancho. We had a nice ride around this awesome singletrack loop. We did it clockwise. Coral,1st place XC junior at Sea Otter, showed us her great riding skill. It was great having her in the ride.

After the ride, Coral took off home. Also Dolores and Tom also went home. And I went to pick up Nicole (my daugther) from her volleyball practice. I was supposed to get beer for me and Tom, and a root beer for Dolores, who was cooking some yummy pasta for all of us. Well, I brought the beer, Dolores had the yummy pasta, and I forgot her root beer!!!! ooops.... But I think Dolores forgave me.... Then we played with Dolores & Tom's new kitty. Super fun. And finally Nicole and I took off back top the school this time to pick up Andrea (my other daughter) who came back from a field trip. CLICK BELOW FOR THE STATS:

Last Week Ride Report
Last Tuesday Sep 12, the Hot Mama ride went to the Headlands featuring Kris, Nick and Celia. It was our first night ride in a long time. We struggled a little with the lights but we were able to finish and enjoy a "bushy" singletrack ride as Nick described it. Oh well... we did get scratches and had to squeeze in between bushes and branches, but we had fun.

After the ride, Sally spoiled us with a yummy dinner and beers...

Last Week Ride & Tomorrow's Ride

Last week ride
Last Tuesday Sep 5 Celia and Dolores rode a fun Tamarancho loop. We found Coral with a flat when we were starting the ride so unfortunately she couldn't join us as we were riding without lights that day and couldn't wait any longer. Later on Coral told me that she got a second flat and actually it was a great thing she finally took her bike to the shop to be fixed and tuned up. Hopefully Coral will join us next time.

In the meantime, Dolores and Celia has a relaxing steady pace loop. We finish the ride in 2 hours, I went home happy and Dolores met Tom who just got back in town at Iron Springs Brew.
