    Talking

    Yes, Metric Century. Is there any other? Yes, I suppose metric HALF-century!

    The weather was perfect. We were there Thursday - Sunday. Each day got better than the one before, and Saturday (ride day) was stunningly perfect. Blue sky, 60-65, sun to some clouds. Yes, there was wind. And I do hate riding in wind, but it's like childbirth -- it's over and I've forgotten how much I hate it!! LOL

    Thanks, everyone!
