You read that right...62.82 miles! Matt and our nephew, Reid, rode in the Century Ride yesterday and rode 62.82 miles! So very proud of them! They both agreed the first 50 were good...the remaining 12 were umm...just not fun. They said it seemed like they were riding uphill and against the wind.
Reid and his parents (who had to be out of town this weekend) ride 30 to 50 miles almost every Saturday morning. Matt had trained very little so he was a little concerned to say the least. And...he has always done triathlons...he's never just ridden for that long. So when it was all said and done, he was pretty proud of himself as he should be.

Reid starting the ride. They were all smiles at this point...I wasn't there to see the finish...I have an idea I would not have gotten a smile from either one of them.
And they are off...hoping to return 62 miles later!
At the turnaround...still feeling good!
Matt wasn't sure if he would see this sign...but he did! So, so proud of him!
