Hey all...Bikefest was great!!

I did end up doing the full century. When I woke up that morning still sore from a weight workout on Wednesday, I was planning on opting for the metric. After it clouded over, I started thinking that maybe I could do more. When the routes split, I made the decision to go for the 100 with DH. I'm sooo glad that I did. It went really well!

Great weather (a bit windy at some points...but bearable), great rest stops and support, and great company. All in all, a fun day for us!

Every time we saw crowds, I found myself scanning the bikes for a Surly cross check, but never saw one! Did you have a good day too, CA?

Oh, and how weird is this...I had a fitting done at Cycling Specifics (in Carrboro)a couple of months ago and while I was there I was admiring a custom bike that had just been assembled and was awaiting pick up by its owner. At the first rest stop, I saw a woman with the same bike. I complimented her on it and mentioned that I bought my handlebar tape after having seen hers. I can't believe that of the 850 people signed up for the ride, that I just happened to run into her! It's a small world, isn't it?

Anyway, it was a great day and I'm only sorry that I didn't get to meet any TEers.
