Well, maybe it's too soon to brag, but I survived the first tour of the season with nary a scratch. I rode in the Metro Grand Spring Tour yesterday. It was a 60 miler (well, only 57.5 but I guess they think that would look odd in the flyer!) through parts of two Metro Parks and parts of Wayne and Monroe counties. The rain even let up long enough to get the ride in although the roads were pretty wet at the start. As far as the route goes, I'd give it a partly to mostly crappy. But anyhow, I'm ahead for the season, but I'm sure there is an equalizer out there waiting for me.
The next planned ride is at the end of next month. It's a two day ride, 75 miles per day, from the south side of Toledo to Port Clinton the first day and then return to Toledo the following day. It's a fundraiser for the National MS Society, so I get to come up with at least $300 to "enjoy" myself! LOL
Alrighty, that's about all I got. Later

Sounds like a good start to the season! I have some friends doing the RAGBRAI this year which is supposed to be a great ride across Iowa (I am guessing it is very flat). It's almost enough inspiration to get me out on my bike, but California is pretty hilly - I don't think I'd make it very far.
ReplyDeleteI just read about the RAGBRAI within the last week or so. During my ride Sunday, I saw a couple of people wearing jerseys from that tour. There's another one in Louisana that sounds nice called Cycle Zydeco. I might have to check one of those out next year.
