Hades. Today, it's cooler.

Several of the gang got together this morning for coffee and to - as the invite put it - "discuss how it's just too hot to ride."

Of course, we discussed other stuff. Like how preperations are coming along for the September 11-13 Spokane Scoot. About the fact that Thomas Hammer of Thomas Hammer Coffee came by to say hello. About this year's Ride & Seek challenge, and about Scott and Michael's recent epic ride to Winthrop. And about Paul and Jonna's recent trip to Bellingham for this year's Hamster Run.

No pictures or bold exploits today, just nice conversation. When it's winter and 2º F outside (like it was when Rick and Scott did their Cold Weather Challenge ride last winter), we'll think even more fondly of today's non-ride.

(BTW, see Orin O'Neil's Hamster Run photo gallery here, and other images at the mighty Scoot.net. Several with Paul and Jonna!)
