GDB is doing a century ride on Sat 12/29, departing from Mesquite Poteet HS and heading east/southeast. Probably cruising speeds 16-18, probable 8AM departure -- more info TBD.

I think we'll stop around Mile 25, halfway, and Mile 75...

Protocol? We don't need no steenking protocol.... ;)

Well, it was a brisk 30 degrees at the start for this one, and seven hardy GDB'ers headed out into the rising sun... And at the rest stop at mile 35, we unanimously chose to make it a METRIC instead... Finished with 63 miles, 15 mph average, five hours total time.
