Event warmup:

The map shows that the trailhead is NORTH of SR 44.....but its not north if you come from US 19 on SR 44, so we wasted over an hour circling the same few block over and over looking for the trailhead. Good thing we weren't on Amazing Race, we would have lost this leg. Finally found the right place, got registered. We started riding at 11:30 AM. How lazy are we?

You couldn't ask for better weather! Perfectly overcast the whole day!! There was a steady breeze, which didn't slow us down too much, but there some some occasional gusts which were not fun.

Started at Inverness Trailhead. Seven miles later, while stopping for traffic in front of the Floral City gazebo, hubby joined 'the club'....ending his 2 month streak of perfection with clipping out. Unlucky for him that there were crowds of people to witness....but very lucky for him that a new bike shop opened on that corner YESTERDAY and they were able to put his wheel back to mostly true. Yay! Ride is saved! One of these days, my husband is going to win the lottery...he has the best luck!!

A big highlight of the ride was seeing a camel....and having birthday cake for breakfast! (Mike convinced me it was OK since this weekend IS my birthday!)
