Cope can not Start in the Rain.

Saturday Nov 8.
Assembled at the start.
Theresa Smit
Kevin Smit “ GOG”
Steve Sparano “Sporadic Sparano”
Tim Devinney - “Fast Tim” – “The Love Train” rode in on his bike.
Jae Brainard.

As the group sat and drank coffee they watched the rain come down hard and then let up and then come down hard again. Steve Sparano checked his Blackberry to see if the weather radar showed any hope for clearer skies. He also checked his email to see if Steve Cope had responded to an earlier email to ensure he was planning to ride this morning. There was a response from Mr. Cope. “woke up, saw it was raining, rolled over to go back to sleep. Do not mind getting wet, just do not like to start in the rain”. Steve Cope will have lots of opportunities to start in the rain and snow as he sets out to ride across the U.S. on Nov 22nd from San Diego Ca.
About that same time Sheila Augustine placed a call to Theresa to see if the group would be interested in going to the YMCA to do Spinning class in lieu of riding in the rain.
The group elected to each go their own way.
Fast Tim headed for home on his bike.
Steve Sparano headed home with the intent to mountain bike later in the day.
Theresa, Jae, and Kevin ended up joining Sheila, and Patty at the YMCA.
The Roses all did Spinning class and Kevin ran (jogged) on a treadmill.
