I'm late to the party...I hope your ride went well and you had a great time!
Red Rock
I haven't had time to breathe in the past two days.
I put my house on the market today. Anybody wanna buy a house? Cheap! Lots of room for bikes!
As for the ride, well there's not much to tell. I was under trained and the combination of a headwind and the hills of Gettysburg whipped my arse. I pooped out at lunch, 30 miles into the 50.
My sister said my photos were boring.

It was truly a beautiful day for a ride. You can see the hills to come in the distance.

I would have made better time if I hadn't stopped for so many photos. It's a hard habit to break.

I'm in the teeny tiny green tent next to the gigantic one that I was expecting the occupants to fill with little plastic balls or a big inflatable moon bounce.

There were festivities.

And some wildlife near Camp David the next day.
Next years ride is already scheduled for July 17th. I will be prepared and if I can talk her into it I will have company.
Do you hear me, Catriona?
I want to thank once again everyone who made a contribution to Habitat for Humanity.

Miss Aurora performed like a champ! I love that bike!
Zen, after that threat & your boring pics, how can I resist going with next year?
but.. *whine* would i really have to fundraise? All my friends & family members are cheap.
I like how you made sure your campsite had a place to park your bike.
My campsite selection was not so thought out on saturday night :)
Oh, your pictures take me back. I went to Gettysburg several years ago and really had no interest in going, until I got there! Everyone should go sometime. I came home and read everything I could get my hands on.
Anyway, I digress, your pictures were lovely, thanks for sharing.
Awesome pictures Zen - glad you had fun on the ride!
Zen - 30 miles are better than no miles! Great photos. Looks like it was a fun time. ~jane
looks like a great ride, Zen!
And lots of luck with house sale.
I like your pics, Zen :D
Thank you. I'll tell my sister you said so ;)Quote:

You can never take too many pics, always great to look back on. They were good to see and the comments too, awwww, what a cute little tent.
Looks like it was a fab day and a lot of fun too.
