PPTC Century route

I rode the Potomac Pedalers Tour Club 100 mile ride in Berryville. Unlike the Livestong ride and the Civil War Century, this course was pretty flat, with some gentle rollers on the second half. Also unlike those ride, I didn't suffer, really. It was chilly for the early morning start, but warmed up and turned into a beautiful day. I fell in with four guys from the Western Maryland Wheelmen, who were friendly and kept the pace challenging -- thanks to them for letting me tag along for five hours. I felt like it was the strongest long ride I've done so far.

September Celebrations

Mary Ellen and I had birthdays, and a wedding anniversary, in September. So congratulations to us. These weren't the big birthdays, though. Those are next year, when there will be a kickin party.
