Feet for Food


Total for this ride: 14.5 miles
Total for this year: 1961.9 miles

Second ride of the day.

This one was the annual charity walk/ride for the local food cupboard.  I think I've ridden in every one since they started allowing bikes.  Some of them have been absolutely miserable... I remember riding last year in a driving rain.  Fortunately the weather today was OK.  Overcast, cool, and breezy, but at least no rain.  Registration for the ride started at 2:00 -- just about the time I got there.  I filled out the form, turned in what little money I'd raised (really didn't solicit contributions, since I put the hard sell on family and friends for the Tour de Cure...), and got my cue sheet.  The ride wasn't scheduled to start until 2:30, but I didn't feel like hanging around for another 20 minutes, so I took off early.  No big deal - it's really a pretty informal event... I did the "long" ride, which is only 10.8 miles, but I also counted the miles I rode from home to the start, and then the miles from the finish back home again, which gave me the total I reported above.

  1. Yes Joe..whatever you do, don't lie about the miles you report here! That would just be so wrong!
