[BHV] Five Lakes and a Steak

I certainly appreciate it, Jeremiah.  We can all use a little extra  
blessedness here and there, and the safe is absolutely essential.   --

Don't misunderstand.... I don't go to church and think about

blessed and safe.

Someday maybe we'll get to discuss what I mean in person ;-)

Some people go to church, sit there and think about riding, others go  
riding and think about God

Bill,

Nicely written.  I don't consider it thoughtlessness at all but  
thanks for the apology.  I completely why the ride is on Sunday.  I  
hope you know I was only kidding with you.  Maybe one day, I will be  
able to get in a Sunday ride with you all.  For now, I'll continue my  
current practice of attending an actual church and while doing so,  
I'll be thinking of you all praying for blessing and safety.  And I  
know you all will be thinking of me, wishing you were where I was ;- 
D  ..... okay so maybe not.  Either way, I trust you will all have an  
awesome time when it rolls around and I'll just look forward to the  
other opportunities.

Jeremiah,

I acknowledge a surge of thoughtlessness on my part (for which I  
apologize), helped along by the momentum of tradition, and abetted by  
the apparently standard scheduling of bike races and bike shop hours  
on Saturdays and of the FLCC touring calendar on Sundays.

Can you start a ministry to Sunday bike riders, administered from the  
bike?  A small group of rarely church attending Catholics has started  
up the Congregation of the Blessed Fausto;  we give ourselves credit  
(and hope it counts) every time we go by a church (of any  
denomination) on Sunday rides.  We ecumenically give members of  
others denominations or non-denominations, even non-believers, credit  
as well, if they are along for the ride.  We have been known to stop  
at one particularly well-situated church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help,  
at the top of the last big hill on The Brick, to catch our breath, to  
catch the view, even to offer some whispered prayers of thanks for  
getting us to the spot where it's all downhill from there.   It  
wouldn't hurt to have some discretely applied professional guidance.

For a (very Italian) view of the spiritual aspect of cycling see:

There's a nice picture of a bust of our patron there, among pictures  
of other more or less sacred mementos and relics.

September 28th sounds like a great day for a ride. The nice people in  
NY central cross series have scheduled buck hill for Saturday the  
27th this year.  They must want to drink beer at the Rosterfish too.   
Mark me down as attending.

Not just a ride, but a ride and a gathering of hungry and thirsty
riders afterwards.  Always a good combination, that always seems to
lead to a good time.

It's getting to be that time.   Tradition has it that this will be
the last Sunday in September, and I'm hoping that tradition will
prevail, since Lou and I  will not be available either of the
preceding two weekends.

Lou and I are hoping to have ourselves fit and ready for the century,
will do the half century if not that far along in our training season
(time is running out, we know).

Roosterfish again?  (Why not?)  Time to start getting a head count
for our reservation?
