The RIDE:

This was an out-and-back, so what if I missed the last turn
[rushing through an intersection] and rode 64 miles versus 63 miles.
It was good for my heart and I still arrived before the other metric century riders.

Please visit my MotionBased Digest to view my rides or
use the Crankin’ for Crohns link above for ride details.

Of course I dressed for the occasion [30 degree temps]
I removed the shoe covers, the C4 windbreaker, my undershirt, another top,
and glove liners at the first rest stop. I retrieved those items at the end of the ride.

This was a GREAT ride for a worthy cause. It was well supported. The route was well marked. It is a shame that only 13 riders participated [several from out of town]. Hopefully, next year more riders will support this ride. C4, let’s do this!!!
