Great riding wknd!! Went on super long rides and tiny artsy rides.
Rando Ramble Monument 2 Monument
#2 went well. My first century of the year. I came through unscathed though thoroughly spent. As always Bobs cue sheets are excellent, about 35-45 folks rode down to DC, great weather and camaraderie. A few route changes this year taking a few new roads. as always a few new riders excited that they were able to make the ride. Some folks returned via the MARC which is way better than previous years when folks had to take the Metro to the Express bus(Greenbelt) to the light rail. Way easier to bail these days, gotta say I was tempted.I rode from Catonsville to the Balto Monument with Mike H. Great seeing him again. He had just ran a 25K the previous day. Saw some old Rando riders, Dave H and Bob W. at the monument. Met Baltimore Bike party organizer, Tim B and rode with him for awhile, also rode with Carl for a bit, he is returning from a cross country bike ride I ended riding solo from DC to mile 75 rest stop where I joined a rather fast group to finish out the ride. I peeled @ Elkridge as always. I could not have hung with that group any longer anyways, phew! Legs started to cramp as I climbed my way back up into the hills of Catonsville. final mileage, 98.2. So I guess I didn't ride a century
CRTT hosted a local 5 mile Mural ride through C-ville. One of the main Mural artists joined us and gave a small talk on the murals historical significance. We had over 60 folks with many joining, as we rode. Ages ranged from over 70 to under 10 What a cool day to see so many different riders. Catonsville is on the move, our 2nd straight ride with over 60 folks.
Hope y'all had as much fun as I did this weekend
