81 miles on Saturday! Didn't do day 2, we had some other stuff going on. Day 1 was PLENTY. Temps were in the mid-90's after noon. Caprice had to give up at the lunch break, she's been fighting some back problems for a while now. I rode with Larry Fish the rest of the ride, we had a good time. Laughed our asses off. Met a guy that used to be his boss 30 years ago, he was great. He had to bow out of the ride at around 60 miles with some leg problems.
I started getting elbow pain about halfway in, don't know why. Took some ibuprofen and it seemed to take care of it. Holy smokes was it hot. Pretty much an exact copy of my first year, only we did 3 more miles this year because of the new start point at Brunswick HS. Had some problems with traffic (both car and bike) at the new location, but once we got moving, there were some great downhills the first 6-8 miles.
So anyway it was another great ride. I did pretty well considering my longest ride this summer was only 27 miles. I am carved out of wood. My new(er) bike did great, it's so much more efficient and smooth than the Trek. Although, now I'm already thinking about a higher-end hybrid with some carbon components, or maybe adding some upgrades to this one. We'll see.

Poker news: Lost 2 buy-ins Wed night last week. First one, flopped nut straight with J-10, got it all in with the bottom end of it (5-6) and the guy catches running clubs for the 6-high straight. Lost the second buy-in after flopping a set of K's and the guy calls me down with a gutshot and nails it. Well played sir. Went down after dinner at the Kilt with Rao and Prowest, and even JC stopped in but didn't play. A few others from the group were there as well.
