The Ride: An awesome end to a rough start. Well it started rough because, though I woke up at 4 am, I was goofing around on the computer and lost track of time. Thankfully Gary and Edgar waited on my arrival at the brewery, but I felt all out of sorts and mentally had to pull it together because we were planning on an eighty mile ride.

I am not sure what time we actually rolled out. There was enough visibility to ride safely, but still a fair amount of fog that at least kept it cool until about 9:30. About 10 the sun was out and the rest of ride had perfect weather.

With just the three of we all had our share of training time and even when I was drafting behind Gary or Edgar I still felt like they were making me work hard to keep up. It did not seem long before we were at our turning point to come back and the ride back seemed rather fast as well even though we were approaching the five hour mark.It seems true that time flies when you are having fun. It was a great ride with just the three of us. Great day for a number of reasons.
