Didn't know what to expect at AES – having never been to one previously.  Was glad to see two of my favorites emerge from the gloom.  Actually – Spanarkle didn't emerge – he was already on a library bench when I got there and claimed that's where he had slept.  

Also at the lauch was DEVO.  Did a huge solid by dropping off some materials for the Gears Comedy Night (August 27th – Galway Hooker in Cornelius – $25 tickets available).  Still a little banged up – DEVO exchanged pleasantries and was on his way.  Good to ride with him last night – on his birthday.  The D9 Monday Night rides are really becoming a huge event each week – thanks to the efforts of DEVO.  Seemed like at least 30 riders last night.  (Meet at the basketball courts at Bailey Road Park each Monday at 6:15.  Usually two groups – A and B – always a no drop affair.  Grab beers art D9 post ride.  D9 will donate a dollar for every beer consumed to the Gears MS team).

There had been early talk of a visit to Goodrum Street for some hill work.  YHC called an audible for several reasons:

– I pushed it at the D9 ride last night and my legs were feeling it

– With an intimate group, we were talking a bunch as we worked – good 2ndF.  Harder to acheive on Goodrum.

– That hill sucks

So……it was off to the school we went, where we ran into the 5:30 crew taking their licks from Riptide.
