We got off about 6:30 am headed out to Palm Springs. My friend Lisa was already there and called to let us know the weather was going to be perfect. If it was raining or horrendously windy it was going to be a deal breaker. Handsome Husband, HammerMan and I went. Brad decided to stay home and clean the garage (thank you Brad it was long overdue) to earn some extra money. We met up with the Speedier family at the start line, Hammerman was happy to see them so he didn't have to hang out with the pokey parents. 
The Family Speedier
The first 20+ miles are a gradual uphill, it's not hard, just wearing, and there was some headwind (not enough to really complain about). 
The Family Speedier
We met up with the boys at Sag 1. Tour de Palm Springs has the best sags, lots of salty Chex Mix, and peanut M&M's, bananas, and Cytomax. At the second sag Little Speedy, HammerMan and Pres. Speedier took off and finished it off. Handsome Husband and I straggled in, skipping the third sag (more great food they have sandwiches at this one) 'cause I just wanted to be done.

Me at the finish (Yay, Yay, Yay!)
The weather was great, crisp and cold but not too cold, the valley was clear and the mountains were snow capped, it was just a great day. So to finish off a romantic Valentines Day we went and got new tires for the truck, and a few more odds and ends for Longboard Boys birthday tomorrow. And then out to dinner with the boys, ah yes, more romance at:
And what did I get Handsome Husband for Valentine's Day: a ticket
