Bike to the Bay 2008

Well, we survived. In one piece Im not sure how. Bike the Bay kicked my butt this year. I finished 2 hours later then I had planned. But, when the wind is blowing so hard your fastest peddel is only 8 mph you arent going to get very far. The first day we got stuck at the 50 mile marker and the tour was shut down, we were bussed out and bikes loaded on to a truck and we were dropped at the Port Clinton high school where the sun was shining bright. (figures)

the second day the wind made the ride no fun and we all consider quiting a many times that day...in the end finally rolling over the finish line...soaked by the rain or not was totally worth it.

Being team captain has its challenges as well. This year 18 people road the tour and 14 people stayed over night . Trying to keep everyone straight and together is like being a soriety mom. It was fun though dont get me wrong. I do believe the hotel smelled like a retirement comunity on saturday afternoon, Ice hot everywhere!
