Riding brevets and meeting fellow randonneurs/randonneusse

The last time Constance and I did a brevet together, we had on a ton of wool and rain gear, and we were still shivering.  She even  stood by, patiently freezing while I changed two flats in the rain. So when I saw this photo, I had to post it, it's just too awesome. Thanks Constance!

Big thanks to Chloe for being an awesome friend and riding partner. She didn't even hit me when I snored.
