Today started out to be a biker’s perfect day, the roads were almost flat, there was no traffic to speak of and life was good. At least until the group rode through a broken glass bottle on the shoulder of the road. When I stopped to check my tires I found a piece of wire sticking out of my rear tire so I pulled it out and put a little bit of water on the hole and it bubbled so I had to replace the tube. Ken Zika stayed behind to help me and we probably had it fixed in about 10 minutes and were back on the road. Our good flat roads lasted about another ten miles and then the road started to undulate up and down pretty seriously for about fifteen miles. Then it became less severe but still continued to roll up and down.
This was our earliest arrival yet. We got to the hotel about 2:15 pm. Today because of all the hills we got very spread out which kept the van running back and forth trying to keep track of evreyone. For that reason we went about 35 miles through the hilly section without a break which was to long for most of us, and we are feeling kind of drained tonite.
Distance = 75.5 miles
Average Speed = 14.7
Maximum speed = 36.0
Time = 5 Hours and 7 minutes moving
