Some of you may remember that last year I tried to do this ride with Elly... emphasis on "tried".
Today was a different story. She was in the bike trailer the better part of two hours. The 6-bridge-ride is only 14 miles long, but due to the heavy rider response, and the fact that it is a "family" ride, we only averaged 8.3 mph. In addition, you have to wait in the start mass, which took about 20 minutes and is where she fell apart last year. Out of the entire time, she only had a crisis for about 10 minutes, about 2/3 of the way through. She says she had fun and is ready for more!
That's the "START" line waaaaay up ahead!
