2004 MS-150 Day 1

Hans, our fast and fearless team leader, led Kurt and me to complete today’s century ride. This morning we left the start line around 8:30am, and returned around 5:30pm. I’ll have to check the map to find all the rest stops and factor in how long we spent at each one to find our actual ride time and average speed. My bike computer is apparently not set correctly, and isn’t reporting accurate numbers. The 100 miles left us pretty beat, but we’re not stopping from finding sushi for dinner, though we’ll likely be crashing early this evening for a full nights sleep to prepare for tomorrow ride.

Tomorrow the plan is still to ride another century; today’s seemed easier than I expected, but I’m still tired and sore. I’ll likely take the century route no matter what, and just ride until I collapse. Picking up my lifeless corpse is what the support vans are for.

In the meantime, you can check out how my fundraising went, and you can still contribute if you’ve not.
