Yesterday was the Crane Cycle Fest (http://www.cranecyclefest.com). This event will quickly rise to the stature of one of the Best Rides in America!

Here's why:

it's on the world's largest naval installation (yes...that's in INDIANA!)...what that means...I did 65 miles with only TWO CARS!
the roads were awesome and in great condition (only two very small potholes)
the downhills were terrific (I'm like a rock freefalling on a hill!)
the organizing team did an outstanding job with planning and logistics
the entrance lined with 702 FLAGS was inspirational


This was the first year, only promoted for about 6 weeks (because Pentagon approval was required), and we had 300 riders raising $35,000 for the Ride2Recovery cause!

This sounds wonderful! Next year I will certainly be there :D hoping there is a next year? This year it just conflicted with too many other things for me.
