Despite a really nasty looking radar for central Indiana and Illinois at 5am, the weather held and we had a pretty fun ride.

My father inlaw hit his goal -- he's not a bike rider but did get his red rider jersey this year for being diabetic and hit the distance he was after.

I had the Bianchi up in the "fast guy" paceline for about 3/4 a lap -- 75-100 riders doing 25-26mph is quite a rush. While looking for Mrs. Zoxe, I tagged onto a line of 20 or so doing 20mph and hung with them for awhile. I am not a club rider, so having the oompah to hold my own there made me smile.

Ran into 10Wheels on his way to a century but didn't see CraigB or Downtube.

Mrs. Zoxe and I didn't start with any particular goal. In the past years we'd done 50mi, but we pulled off after 30mi year and got the Father Inlaw on the road and off to work (after 4:30am wakeup, and day at the track, the poor guy drove an hr to our place for a shower, then 3 1/2 hrs back home and then worked 7pm-7am).
