Today was my first century on this ride and due to a couple of wrong turns, I rode 108 miles between 7:05AM and 2:50PM. It was a beautiful morning overcast, cool and no wind. I took off and we made a few wrong turns, so that was the first extra mile. At mile 24 I caught up to the fast group and a group of 6-8 of us cruised 20-21mph until the mile 41 SAG stop in Covington, OH. The police chief stopped and talked to us. Since it was Father's Day we had cookies, cupcakes and fruit.
At mile 59 one guy took a wrong turn and I chased him down, he couldn't hear us yelling because of his i-pod, that added the extra 3 miles. The clouds burned off and it got real HOT. A stop in St. Paris at mile 66 for chocolate milk and Gatorade. A few of us cruised to the next SAG at 77 miles, where we had watermelon, cheese, bagels, chips and salsa AND ICE COLD WATER.
We hit a stretch of road that had been tarred and crushed stone put down, it seemed to be melting and we had to be careful for a hard 10 miles. At mile 91, Woodstock stopped for more chocolate milk. Very happy to reach the Holiday Inn in Marysville, OH and a nice ice cold water. Then got a hot dog and chocolate milk. Dinner was a hot turkey sandwich, stuffing, carrots , salad, ice tea and water.
Posted again by Ann, anyone want to buy stock in Nestle, I think it is mostly Nestle's Nesquik.they are drinking. We might have to forgo the wine cellar and buy a bigger refrigerator, or a COW..
