hi gals!
i ended up doing 40 miles yesterday. i just really don't like being wet and cold, so when we (my riding buddies) got to the 1st rest stop, we found some 31mi cue sheets (thanks carrie anne!) and made our way back to hillsborough.
a couple of people questioned my choice since i was already wet; i had grit in my mouth from the rooster tails in the pace line, water was sloshing in my shoes, and i really got cold waiting at the rest stop. i just wanted to get into some DRY clothes!!
i do have all the cue sheets, so at some point, i'll be heading back out to that area and doing the 62 or 100mile route.
great ride & support - will ride again next year!

Hey Karen -
I saw you!! I think?! Were you wearing a terry sleeveless rainbow jersey with a pink thing in your back pocket? If so, you passed us on the way to the first rest stop! I wanted to say 'hi' but I was stuck in the restroom line and by the time I was done, you were gone!
I did have a great ride! The first 40 miles were pretty miserable, but conditions improved quickly after that. We were careful to avoid any drafting in the wet...knowing how long we'd be out there!
It was a lot of fun and I believe the first of many centuries for me!
