I finished the MS bicycle event! I rode 58 miles today and 52 yesterday for a total of 110 miles :) There were 415 bicycle riders there - a new record for this MS event.
Met a lot of wonderful people there and I really enjoyed the whole event. They had everything taken care of wonderfully well. Lots of great volunteers. Good food too.
Saturdaywas interesting - started with LOTS of bicycles and after the second rest stop - I hardly saw anyone. There was a big hill Saturday that I had heard about... But it wasn't so bad - I ride up a similar hill everyday as I commute home from work.
Sunday - got up early today (read that as 5AM - I still don't think the world exists at that time) and got breakfast and got riding by a bit after 6AM. Rode with a friend for about 18miles or so and he went to the left (75 mile course) and I went right (for the 50 mile course). We happened to meet a group at the rest stop a bit before that - very nice folks. They were all going 50 miles too... So I tagged along with them for the rest of the ride - had a great time talking with all of them. Got to the end and said bye - took a shower and got packed up and poof - driving time to get back home - made it home just a little bit ago. Time for a nap.
