51.9 miles

i originally wrote a post today that was a rant about charity rides... it came off as way too negative so i decided to scrap it. i will say this, however... it does bug me that charity rides seem to be the only reason people ride anymore. that, having been said, i'll move on. yesterday's ride was a good one. a friend and i set off in the hottest part of the day for a good stiff ride. i certainly felt it when i got home... and for the rest of the evening for that matter. i spend a lot of time on google maps looking for new routes or to rediscover old forgotten routes... this was one such ride. i'm glad i had found this a few days earlier while staring at the map. scenic, fresh, good rolling terrain... a perfect ride. within the last 3 miles of the ride it started to rain and the last 100' it really rained. a nice refreshing end to a long, hot ride. i can't wait for october.
