Not wanting to do a paltry 60 miles -    I joined FWBA on the west northwst Ho ride.  It was originally scheduled to be a 30, 60, and 90 mile ride, but the ride leader had lengthened the 90 miler to a full century.  Almost no one wanted to do it but George Chapman thankfully got there late and was game, so he and I were the only ones.  We rode with the 60 mile group to the split at roughly 30 miles.  Many regroups and stops and the 30 miles took us almost 3 hours.  
 
But when George and I took off alone, hoo-boy did that change.  Our pace for the rest of the ride was 21mph.  It was a good course except for a couple more heavily trafficked roads, but you didn't stay on them long.  Bud, the road that you and I hated on that club ride last year we only rode for maybe 500 yards.
 
Very good hills - I kept thinking my quads were going to give out on me - I didn't feel strong, especially after blowing them up at the TT yesterday, but that lil' bike I was riding just kept a-climbing.  MAN does it ever climb.
 
Anyway, 5.5 hours total bike time, 100 miles, very good day.
