Ditch Detour

Great 48-mile ride today without the usual T-day bluster. Brent took a little detour into a Pungo ditch where cool deep water, mud and Spartina cushioned the fall. Everyone around him stayed upright, and his bike opted not to go in ditch so it stayed dry. Conte's sag was right there to scoop up him and bike, so blowing heater dried him out. I am thankful he swam up so quickly and could laugh about it.
