As 7 mentioned, great ride today. Beautiful fall weather, great group of fun people and wine tasting at the halfway point! Can't beat that. 7 - You will be fine next week on your century! I think you have a good base with all of the weekend rides you've been doing. Hope the photo of "the wine tasting/cycling" crew shows up!

Last weekend, I rode in the 24 Hours of Booty fundraiser in Columbia, MD. I'd posted on my rider page that I was going to try to ride 100 miles for this event; such hubris, to write that never having even looked at the route, much less ridden it!
I am such a slow rider that 100 miles would take me 4 x ever to ride, but over two days, that'd be perfectly doable even at my normal (incredibly slow) speed.
But my normal (incredibly slow) speed is the speed I ride on FLAT TRAILS! And what I rode last weekend was NOT a flat trail. The not-a-trail part wasn't the problem; it was the not flat part that was!
So last weekend for the fundraiser, I managed to ride 66.something miles. Because I said I'd ride 100 miles on that route, by God and kittens, I was going to ride 100 miles on it! So I went back today to ride the remaining 34 miles. I did not have fun, though I am glad I did this, and I am soooo looking forward to getting back to my flat trails!!!
