Saturday 8/25/12
~ the ultimate plan was to ride our bikes 100 miles –
a “century”. Another bike club put together the ride
& Michael organized a group of us to do it.

We had 11 people in our group
|

|
the first flat tire of the ride — Mine!
1/2 mile into the ride…..
|
|
|
|
2nd flat tire — MINE —
1.5 miles into the ride.
Adam volunteered to help do it right this time
& then no more flat tires!

Our first break after 30 miles.

Judith & Joyce sharing snacks.
Fueling up for the next loop – 25 miles
|
|

|
the potatoes were a big hit.
Carbo loading!

this church has outdoor stations of the cross
|
|
|
|
we ended the day with 75 miles
(we missed a turn)
We could have done another loop but we didn’t feel like it!
I know, lame excuse…… I felt really good after the ride
& could have done 25 more miles for a true century –
but I didn’t feel the need to.
I was quite happy with 75 miles.
We average 15 mph. It took us 5 hours.
|
|
|
|
after biking we went back to Adam’s house for
beer & BBQ
|
|
|
|
|
I tried to make us spiral cut hotdogs
