I did the metric, started about 8:30 a.m. Didn't see anyone in the Bicycle Place kit.

My legs were pretty tired from the start for some reason, so from time to time I was suffering a bit. But the weather was beautiful and I got my tomato sandwiches so I was happy.

I also brought my camera along - usually I consider a camera to be unnecessary weight, but I want to bring it on the Livestrong Ride next year so I decided to start getting used to having it. I mostly took scenery shots of bridges plus some pics at Gettysburg to show my nephew who is interested in the Civil War.

I am really glad they were able to postpone it so we didn't have to ride in all that rain.
