151 miles this weekend, 10 hours, 50 minutes ride time - 2009 "Bike to Jack and Back" MS150 ride which includes dinner at Jack Daniel's Distillery (the main sponsor of the ride, who also handed over a $10k check to the Mid-South chapter) in Lynchburg, TN. Yesterday was great, the weather was awesome, maybe a high of 72. (edit, oh - but I forgot about the wind! There were some massive headwinds that sucked the life out of quite a few team-mates and we really needed to work together to keep our group together. (there are 63 people on the whole team for the ride but 7 of us were riding together in our own sub-group) Today, we got up and it was overcast, started to drizzle with about 50 miles to go. Raining with about 17 miles to go.. the last 2 miles were really wet. The high was around 65? I did the whole ride today with arm warmers, wind breaker and tights on except when I took off my wind breaker for a monster climb (for around here anyway) iirc, 818 riders, $585k raised. My wife volunteered at our team rest stop so we were able to spend the weekend away together - was real nice to be able to do that. She dropped me off at the start line and went to go to the rest stop (no. 3 of 7) and we were about to take the team photo when I realized I was still in my tennis shoes and my bike shoes were in her car! She had to back-track 20minutes and we probably had 10 minutes to spare before the ride started. Close call! I felt pretty good on the whole ride except my butt got more and more sore today.. probably a 7 on a scale of 10 (10 = can't ride) probably due to lack of riding... (had not ridden in 2 weeks, and then 2 weeks prior to that iirc)
