Here is my report for the last couple days:

Saturday - Rode a metric century in the Wheels for Meals event benefitting Meals on Wheels. If you are looking for an organized century next spring, please consider this one. I thought is was excellent & well organized. You can pay the entry fee or raise money. I did both raising over $250 so I got a free jersey; which is really nice. They also had a 40 mile & 25 mile routes. It was extremely well marked and supported. We passed 5 rest areas during our 65 mile ride. Although it started in downtown Greenville, it went northeast into a very rural area. Roads were in great shape & barely saw any traffic once we got out of town. There was some climbing (5000 ft total) but nothing too serious. Afterwards it was an all you can eat Chick-Fil-A buffet & free massages, but we rode downtown for an adult beverage. Weather was beautiful & made some new cycling friends who live in the area. About 300 riders total. Everything went well with the exception of me running over a snake and screaming like a little girl (no offense to any little girls on this board)

Sunday - I did a recovery ride of 10 miles on my Hummer (mt bike) with my neighbor who is just getting into cycling on a hybrid. We have a 10 mile loop that we rode last week. It took 55 minutes & our goal was to break 50; we finished in 46, so that was exciting.

Monday - I waited for all the t-storms to clear the area and then headed out on my 30 mile loop. Saw ANOTHER snake (which I don't like at all) and one my roads was closed to construction so my loop has been reduced to 28.5 miles until June. However, it was really windy. Felt like a head wind no matter what direction I was going.
