12/2/07, a great hot Sunday ride for one of the best charities I know of especially because our Son, now 3-1/2 was adopted via the Grace of God and Kids in Distess Foster Program when he was only 9-weeks old!! Ride options 100, 62 and 30. I've been road riding since August and set my sights on a personal goal of 50-miles. I managed 45.3 and at the time I turned to head back, I knew I hit my limit. By 30-miles fatigue reared its head and by 35 I limped in stopping a few times due to huge cramps up and down both legs. All BF advise was taken, I was super hydrated the night before and drank and ate throughout the ride and hit a couple rest stops too. I guess in BF terms, I bonked but at least I completed my goal. It was a fantastic feeling starting in such a pack of riders, 900+. I got the bug to do this over and over again. Next time I'll take more advantage of the complementary banana's!@#@$$#@.

PS: Pipinfan, you shot past me heading south at Sunrise Blvd. I was the guy on the sidewalk massaging the golf balls out of my legs....

Sorry Boss did not see you !! but I'm glad to know you did a great effort to do the ride,was great for sure,I went on with the wrong group of riders,I wanted to start with the first group but we were taking pictures for a mini "newspaper" we have at work and by the time I was ready they were gone,so I rode with the second group, but I was cranking hard my bike with the "illusion" of catching those *******s but I was impossible they were doing high 20's mph and I was doing 23-24 solo ....

Any ways, on my way back I helped a couple of very nice female riders to get to the finish line ,I can't complain too much.
