38 degrees at the start, we were fully bundled, with the exception of Ullrich, who rolled in shorts with embrocation. After making pleas to Fornjotr# for the appearance of Afrodull**, we headed west on Bee Cave for a Rough Hollow/Lakeway mini-loop. Battling Njord's forces the entire day, the group claimed refuge in the vortex of harmony created by Hoodie, a modern day Bergelmi@.
Ullrich played the role of Viking host, escorting us thru hill and dale of Lakeway. On the return trip, the Viking horde assailed the Francs, invading the French Bakery on Bee Cave. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensued as we took our spoils (of double espresso and chocolate croissants) in a wanton fashion. (Wanton, in the sense that Hoodie was buying!). The natives were an odd lot, with the menfolk performing duties more suited for the finer sex. But then, who understands the French?
The last seven miles were rolled in somber silence, with pleas to Donar@@ for strength to complete our mission. Which we did.See y'all tomorrow!
