But I just went out to do a nice bike ride, and if possible ride the whole 102 miles. Yes, most everyone else had spandex jerseys and high dollar bikes, some were going to do a very serious ride and try to complete the whole thing in 4 hours. I was just out there to have fun and see how far I could go.
