Bike MS in New Bern . . .

. . . this past weekend. The rides were great and the riders were even better. Kim and I were joined by a handful of friends from DEC to complete Bike MS. Our original plan was to ride the century ride each day, but the heat didn't cooperate and everyone had to modify their plans. All together we had 9 riders and between us we rode about 875 miles in two days. 3 riders completed the century ride on Saturday, but because of the temperature we decided to ride the 75 miler on Sunday.
Kim and I spent the entire weekend there riding and hanging out at the park. We ran into some old friends(Trish G & Ron) and met some new ones(Trish, Debbie, Kathy, Dave, amongst others). We did LOTS of riding and enjoyed the company of the other riders. The ride route were super and each of the rest stops provided some of the best support that you could ask for.
I rode 175 miles during the weekend and most of it was with Trish G & Trish M. We got together aroung mile 20 on on Saturday & Sunday and rode the rest of the routes either together or with a few other riders. The entire weekend was a blast and I wouldn't have passed it up at all.

Ride On!
-Super Dave
