MS 150 Ride

I spent a little time on the second day of the ride -- shorter, flatter -- taking a few photos off the bike. It was kind of hard because I just wanted to ride and get it over with. I felt like I was going so freakin' slow at times. Day 1 was the worst -- 85 miles, windy, hilly. The wind was the worst because if you stopped pedaling ... you stopped. Plodding along by yourself at 9 mph, you started to calculate how much longer it took. Then a group of steel-legged beasts would whoosh by, laughing at the wind. It's all good. This year was good, but next year, if I'm better prepared, it'll be really enjoyable.
