I found this amusing and thought I would share.

In this first annual cycling event, each registered rider will pick up a random playing card at each of the four rest stops with the final card being received at the finish.

1st place wins $400, 2nd place wins $200 and 3rd place wins $100. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you are, just the draw of the cards. All the proceeds from the event will go to the Matthews Help Center and the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center.

As many who have ridden with me know, I am not the smallest person on the group rides. I am no longer the biggest dropping from a high of 346 pounds in 2005/2006 to my current stable weight of just over 200. As a bigger rider it is sometimes hard to find clothing that fits. Through research and personal experience I have found a few places that have clothing for us bigger riders. Here is my list of where to find stuff that fits.
