Trang Cycle Club, Thailand

I’ve been adopted by the Trang Cycle Club. It all started when Stanna and I were stopped by Suncern, a friendly and gregarious Cycle Club member, on a Trang city street saying, “Where are you from? I’ve seen you walking all over town.” Within minutes he’d established that I was a cyclist from Colorado and asked us to take several rides with “them.” They would find us some bikes and organize a trip to caves or waterfalls, and if I’d stay till Sunday “we” could all ride to the Pak Meng beaches and back.

Tom says, "Those guys ride like elephants uphill, but 

they are Fabulous on the down hill".

"The Qatar hospital is quite nice.

I am pretty banged up and will have a pretty big scar,

but I will start today [Stage 2] and see how it goes."

Yep, she got up and finished the 1st Stage after the crash (!?!)
Then she went to the Hospital for surgery.

Then, started and finished Stage 2 the next morning,

and moved up in the standings.
