Wow, nice write up Jim. As i told my wife about the ride when she asked,' I killed it' i felt strong and it was a perfect day. It was great seeing the Roadfans and Jim from Boston at the start, and Blazing Pedals at the lunch stop. I do this ride every year and i just don't know if they could do a better job. Oh i must mention the ice cold watermelon at the finish line. it was wonderful.
