Road my Age x2

My face is stiff from all the dried salt and my clothes are covered in sweat stains. I got stung three times coming around Cherry creek reservoir and in the last 20 miles I managed to do something to my knee. I have an ice bag on it, but all in all not a bad trip.

102.23 miles
6:55:36 Hours
avg speed 14.6

I am going to celebrate with a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Beer, and some watermelon.

Man, you have earned the right to celebrate any way you choose--good beer choice, by the way. That is one great 7 hour ride! You left out two things--pictures and.......what type of pie are you going to have?

Oh, by the way, you are a mad man. It is too hot today to ride at all, and here you go - 102 miles.

You blow me away!

If you were nearby, I'd buy you a round!

Great ride, how did the shower feel? Few things better for this one. Nice beer choice too by the way.

The bike is doing fine, although I think I broke another spoke. I hit a pot hole so hard that I actually threw the chain off of my lower idler.:eek:

Since they keep getting me in the same spots along my Lats, I can only surmise that they are getting sucked up my loose shirt sleeve and then down my back. So I guess I will actually have to break down and buy a jersey or two.

The shower felt great, although not as good as just walking in the door to an air conditioned house :D.

I will post the pictures just as soon as I can get them small enough to fit the Forums standards for size. I have them loaded to shutterfly, and in order to share them I need e-mail adresses. I am going to check out photobucket and see if its a little easier to share them that way.
