Seemed like there was about 150 riders today. I think many of them were scared away by the threat of rain. Didn’t have any, as a matter of fact, it was a beautiful day for a ride.
Special thanks need to go out to all that helped put on the ride today, Jeff Viscount, the guys from Bicycles East, The Bee Team and Middle Ring Cycles. All you guys did a fine job manning the rest stops and making sure everyone was taken care of.
What a beautiful day for a ride. I don’t know how many other riders were there but the turnout looked great. Nicole and I had some things we wanted to try on the tandem. The start was great, out with the front runners but about 8 miles into the ride we hit a bump hard and Nicole’s saddle decided it would be a good time to tilt up in the front.

There must have been over 50 riders at the start. We nearly filled the Locust City Park parking lot. Jeff picked out a good route with just a little bit of traffic in some unavoidable spots. The weather started out great, and for those that finished early it stayed that way. I on the other hand got caught in some rain near the end of the ride.
