I was supposed to do the ride marshal for the tour de foothills this morning. Normally, I do the half metric option twice to get my weekly Dale Degemann approved metric.
But I had a sinus headache this morning. I almost didn't go . In the end I woke a and pedaled over to memorial park for the marshal's meeting
