Scott and I just discovered this morning that America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride is the same weekend as MegoMeet — the annual convention for Mego collectors, who are not only my husband’s “people,” but also the primary market for the retro-vintage-style playsets he’s been building the last six months and is planning to SELL.

I suppose I could keep training without him, and we could go our separate ways on the weekend of June 3, but that kind-of defeats the purpose of having a Mutually Enjoyable Activity. Not sure if we could continue to do the training together, with him skipping the big ride at the end.

Wondering further if this is a sign that the scale for this idea has tipped overtop to a 6. Between this scheduling snafu, and the recently gleaned info that AMBBR has two big ascents and many small leading to 2500 feet of ascent/descent over the day — at a baseline of 4500 feet above sea level… let’s just say I’m a little daunted.

Yellowjackets, here I come?
