Huge showing for AFC! Group photo!
Ran into lotsa AFCers along the way. Jay and 2 dudes I can't remember names(?). Stacey and Cindy were looking strong on the way into water stop 3 at Mt. Airy Bicycles.
Mostly I rode with Marc (CBC), Mike (W), and Jen (EJ). Weather was a few sprinkles under shining sun early in the ride. Then it turned beatifully sunny and dangerously windy. Marc was muscling the 48X16 fixie...ouch! Jen was her usual beautiful-she-beastly self. W was super-strong and pulling the four of us. The last five miles I lost them all and finished solo. I was starting to cramp a little near the end. It's funny that I can ride a rigid mountain bike 100+ miles for 10 hours without cramping but I can't ride a road bike cramp-free for 60 miles. I was really starving near the end too. The slice of pizza for breakfast and the granola bar and Montana huckleberry gel during the ride didn't do much for me:-(
Best part was the Cosi food at the end. I ate <oink, oink, oink>:
- 2 chicken Caesar pitas
- One caprese pita
- One piece of roast beast sub
- One big meat filled pita??? (it was tasty whatever it was)
- 2 Pepsis
Overall, I had a much better time this year riding gears than I had last year riding fixed;-) No numb hands either...
