Edgewood 80 Bicycle Rally

A group of us from our bicycle club ( www.gdbclub.com ) went to Edgewood and rode in the Edgewood 80 Rally. The picture shows Michele, Lugay and Jane at the start line getting a good spot. It was a beautiful day but a little windy. Everyone was smiling , later that afternoon the smiles were not as obvious after a hard ride.
Over a dozen club riders showed up, Michele and Lugay rode an impressive 50 miles and a group of nine of us all dressed in club jerseys set out for the 100 mile route and had a nice pace line going, we had dozens of other riders draft off of us and never do a pull on the front in the wind. Nine started and only four of us finished the 100, the wind and hills caused the other to have to sag ( support vehicle ride) in, I was proud to finish it myself with 102.88 miles at 17.5 average. I took this shot from the peloton.
I did manage to get to the boat one time this week and messed around for a couple of hours and caught this nice bass and a smaller one, and messed around in the boat. I took off the winter cover over the cabin and now that the water is back on at the dock I rinsed it off in preparation for an overnighter this weekend.
