I can now check this ride off as my 29th completed century. Just one remains for me to ride if I want 30 centuries to my credit by the time the club's season ends on Oct 31.
Wow! You inspire me! 29 centuries!! I will doing my very first this coming Sunday!

Saturday was my LBS's 10 mile TREK breast cancer awareness charity ride. I got there early and was put to work to help keep an eye on the participants. I met some very great people including a gal that currently has breast cancer. She was cheery and up beat about beating it and I was inspired by her.

Later I went and rode 50 more miles as my last long ride before the century. It was a lovely day.
