This is Dave, Coach Dave. He has officially named our ride group Dave's Mountain Dawgs, to which we all respond with a resounding WOOF! Since he's the only guy in our group, his response to our response is usually, "That's the sorriest bark I've ever heard!" But you have to understand Coach Dave. More sarcasm = more love. Inspirational and motivational speeches may be few, but his hilarity and entertainment factor cannot be denied. And as grumpy and miserable he may look out on the rides ... sorry Coach ;-) ... we are often recipients of the most tenderhearted post-ride emails from him.
We love our Coach Dave (and we're sure he loves us). And we really do miss him when he's not there, as was the case on our 50-mile Yountville ride this past Saturday. He was sick at home (mainlining chocolate milk he says), so we missed his singing, his picking on us, his mumbling under his breath, and his yelling "GAAAAAAP" so loud that you can hear it reverberate for miles.
