And whoever thought up those wash towels in ice water buckets deserves a medal!
I did see him and I saw a dad with two daughters, one riding tandem with him and the other on her own bike. I know they did the 75 because I saw them on and off all day on Saturday. The girls were maybe 10 and 8. Poor little one was resting her head on the handlebars by the end of the route! What little troopers!

The cold cloths were a blessed relief - I just hated to see them discarded by the side of the road. Littering is just wrong.

Didn't the MS Society take good care of us? Some people had nit-picky complaints but I thought they did a splendid job, really rolling with the weather "punches" both days. You couldn't stop by the roadside for more than 10 minutes without one of the motorcycle or SAG vehicles stoping to check on you. It was a wonderful ride.

The next challenge is the Metro Metric at the end of July. Dare I try for a century?

Hope to see you on the road next year!! What's your team name?
