Happy Birthday, Gene!

Gene is all prepared for his 100 mile ride this morning. I am not prepared with a nice birthday post. The best I can do is be the SAG car and have water and snacks ready for his stops. He is going to try to do the first half before I even get going. We shall see. We plan for a nice dinner in Taos if he isn't completely worn out. He should do well. He has many miles on his legs.....

I hope you have a great ride for your birthday, Gene. I love you.

Gene at Fairmont Golf Course in Kimberly, Canada. Could be in Angel Fire, eh? This was in 2004. He hasn't changed much at all.

Well, I wimped out and only got 81 miles in, the mind was willing but the body was not up to the task. Maybe next year.

Jo Castillo said...

Gene, I do not think 81 miles is wimpy .. maybe not your goal of 100, but certainly not wimpy. Love ya.

81 miles, that's pretty good. Good job Gene!!!

Johanne, thanks again!!

fishing guy, thank you. He didn't like that he didn't make his goal, but we all think he did great at 81+ miles. :)
