A friend told me a joke the other day.  We were in a conversation about Hemingway, (often where my thoughts turn prior to a Sunday ride !)  She said If you asked Hemingway, “Why did the chicken cross the road?”  The response would have been, “It didn’t.  It died.  Alone.  In the cold rain.”   For some reason, despite the beautiful mid-November warm spell, this tidbit was floating in my gray matter today on the difficult parts of the run in back home.  But so was Puccini’s Nessun Dorma on the way out during the brilliant parts. The mundane with the miraculous.  You’ll see why later in this report.

Scholars Inn Bakehouse in Agreement with Panther Expedited for Elite Cycling Program

A formal collaboration between the Scholars Inn Bakehouse cycling team and Team Panther presented by Competitive Cyclist is in process.  The exact nature of the program, the details, kits and naming is still in discussion but the leadership has agreed in principle regarding the value of the merger and the benefits to each team and the cycling community.  Joining forces with the successful Panther program, in its 5^th year allows the current Scholars Inn Bakehouse program to be a true feeder team for this elite squad. 

Here’s your chance to ride the new BloomingCross course without leaving your desk!  Check out Adam, Fred and Erik setting the first lines!
