Ride Description:
Today was the official BBC (Beautiful Backroads Century) and with the Bud Plant being my usual Saturday parking spot I went up to the Sosebee Bike Park for my start location. I chunked in a donation into one of the donation boxes to keep the park maintained and opened and off I went on my usual route minus the first five miles. Some of my route is on the BBC course, but I really did not see many cyclists until near the end.
Just a note about the Sosebee Bike Park. I spoke briefly to the owner, who was sitting out at a sag table for the ride and he informed me of working on a couple more locations. I really appreciate what he has done to create a nice place to park with port-o-potties, changing rooms, water, picnic tables and a sheltered table area for cyclists. It is very generous for him to open these parks so I am very glad to donate each time I park.
The rest of my ride? Well it was the usual endurance day on the Felt TT bike. My legs were toast from intervals through the weekdays so this was just a day to dial it back and enjoy cycling for fun. The extra saddle time also helps me keep my back and neck tuned by sitting in that aero position for a few hours. It was a benefit to stay low today as I tried to make myself less of a target for that wind. It was a good day and it was great to see a lot of cyclists out at the event. I hope they had another excellent turnout this year.
