Here's the link: http://www.baltobikeclub.org/index.pl/cwc

This was my second year for the ride, it indeed was beautiful weather, unlike last year when it was 95 degrees. I think my riding time was about the same, I haven't uploaded my data yet, having problems with the Garmin data.

I ran into a lot of great folks out there, a couple 50+ folks & some younguns'. As we were first setting up, I saw 50+ BFer buelito in a 50+ jersey, he looked great. The guy's an animal, he did the ride on a fixie. I was waiting for a friend who came in a bit late so buelito got a head start, I figured I'd catch up with him - how fast can a guy go on a fixie? Needless to say, I never got a whiff of him.

Great ride, great support and perhaps best of all, it's a beautiful part of the country. What really does it for me is the historic nature of the ride - going through South Mountain, Antietam and Gettysburg really gives me the chills. I didn't get the camera out this year, but did take some pictures last year, they can be found at a thread from last year:
