To: Iringa

Wonderful biking today. Rode the whole day with Ruth. We left camp very early, so that by the time we got to the top of the long morning climb (25 km climb), we were there in time to have sodas and chips with some of our fellows who had been there already for a long time! It was a long, but not steep and beautiful climb in the morning!

I really like riding with Ruth. We had a lot of giggles, especially in the afternoon, observing the love birds who were following us and never wanted to catch up with us. One time we looked back and they were not far behind. Another time, we looked back and they had fallen further behind. This really made us giggle. How could anybody lose ground when following ME?! Giggle giggle.

It is a shame that Ruth is a sectional rider. Today was her last riding day. I'll be back on my own again.

You're not even going to give us a clue as to who these love birds are? Gossip's no fun if you can't guess who it's about...
