Bo Bikes Bama
I have been wanting to do this for a while. Finally decided to do it this year. I got to meet Bo. It is supposed to rain much of the day Saturday. Good Times.

Bo Bikes Bama is in the books. It was a great ride. Not hot at all. The start was pushed back 45 minutes to let the lightning clear out, but rain persisted through the whole ride. I rode the first 14 miles pretty hot. I was in sight of the leaders at the 14 mile rest stop. Then I decided to settle the bleep down.

Well heck Bill, it would have been nice to say hello. The roads we rode were exceptional bicycling roads. A few of the hills were burn inducing. Did you eat any of the wings at the rest stop? They were legit!

I’ve done the 60 mile ride a few times and there’s one hill nicknamed The Widowmaker. It’s a leg burner, for sure.

I have a friend who used to ride every day here in CA's elbow but ceased almost completely when he moved to Huntsville. I have teased him in past years he should go give this ride a shot but he never does. I think he's done
