Saturday was the BIG day! It was full of firsts! Here are some firsts (as well as other funny things that happened).....
- It was freezing COLD. When we started the ride it was 44 degrees. It heated up to 59 as the high for the day! Brrrr....
- 5 miles into the ride we were hit with rain that turned into HAIL! Ouch!
- 7 miles into the ride my bike broke. It took 5 different SAG wagons (and other people to help) to find the right tool to fix my bike. That took about 45 minutes. Not a good start (not to mention that we started 30 min. late). Luckily, they were able to fix it!
- Unfortunately, we missed the 100 mile cut off (we needed to be to a certain city by 11:00 in order to go on the 100 mile route) by about 10 minutes. So we ended up riding 80 miles. But, that's OK because we had a head wind about 70% of the time.
- The ride was beautiful! Cache Valley is so pretty.
- We had a great time! I can't wait to do another ride (just as soon as my rear end can stand to SIT on a bike seat)....
