So I walked into my garage and my wife said, "You didn't do the full 100." I asked her how far I rode and she did some quick calculations and said, "75." It's scary when she can guess within 3.5 miles.

The ride was nice, a lot of urban riding with stop lights. The organizers ran out of waivers and wouldn't allow chek ins until they got more. They ran out of the free socks except for XSs. I wear a size 13 so I was SOL.

Rest stop 1 was out of everything except grapes. The other stops were OK but nothing special.

After Jeff's tire exploded, we made a command decision to do the 71 mile route. We only got a little lost once and returned around 2.

I don't think there was much climbing, maybe 1500'.

Riding with Voltman, Chucklehead andjsigone was fun. They're all good riders. We kept an eye out for Dave but didn't see him.

I only took a few pictures but here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/grumpyp...7600232626265/
