Once you are in, it is on the left side.

We have enough gas stations to hit a real restroom every 3 miles or so along most of our Saturday routes, so that's our option - luckily I rarely need to stop, as pulling on sweaty spandex is not fun, LOL.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-69914654309278907112017-11-26T08:10:16.606-06:002017-11-26T08:10:16.606-06:00I hear ya on the port-a-potties.

No shame in making the most of them. <br /><br />I'm sorry Panama City didn't work out. It's awful when that happens, but I'm glad to see you making the most of a not so fun situation. <br /><br />Your attitude is always inspiring. You can always put a positive spin on things, and I know that helps you get through the harder times. Hope you have a great rest of weekend.Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-66766691932532430302017-11-24T18:49:32.918-06:002017-11-24T18:49:32.918-06:00Thank you!
