Completed the inaugural run of the Matthews Rotary Club Veteran’s Children’s Fund Metric Century and Chili Cook-off. The Chili thing has been going on for years, the Metric was new. Accomplished 1/2 of the goals I set for the ride. Wanted to complete in 3:30 ride and 3:45 total. Managed 3:30:48 for 60 miles, but the stops were too long, total time was 4:09.
