DH and I did the Ride for the Land: http://www.tlc-nc.org/rftl2007.shtml

I did the 45 (which clocked in just over 48) and DH did the 60 (which was actually 66 and change). Beautiful NC day - it was almost chilly in the AM - of course, it didn't stay that way. I was the last rider off the 45 mile route- stopped by the ride of the road to rest and make sure I knew where I was going, when one of the volunteers pulled up. With water (yes, I restocked at all rest stops and had 2 bottles, but it was HOT)!! He waited for me in a couple of places to make sure I would be OK. Folks on the last leg were awesome! There were people sitting in their yards cheering! Many thumbs up from riders leaving. Lots of cheering when I arrived at the finish! Drivers were generally very courteous - overall, a great ride!

Some sunburn (I missed a few spots when putting it on ), and tired legs, but a fun ride! Also broke in a new Brooks today - the regular B17 seems to be doing the trick!
