Civil War Century Route
I rode in the Civil War Century on September 12. The 100 mile route goes through four Civil War battlefields, and has some good size hills. It was cloudy, cool and wet, so I opted to bail out of the route before Gettysburg and make it a 75 mile day. Like the Livestrong Challenge ride in Philly, I really liked climbing and descending. I'm going to try to make hills a regular part of my weekend rides.

Livestrong Philly Route
Recorded by my GPS. MapMyRide is kind of clunky, but you get to zoom in on the route if you want to do that. As you zoom in, you can see the 4 places I stopped -- my track goes off the road a bit.

Livestrong Austin
I raised $850 for the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Philly -- and I had a great weekend with Team Fatty and the LIVESTRONG folks in August. Now, I'm at it again. Although it's unlikely that I will go to Austin for the ride (there is a small chance) I am still raising money for Team Fat Cyclist. I think it is a good cause, and Team Fatty is a great way to support it.
