Covered Bridge Metric Century

Category: Biking, Weight loss — Dave Conklin @ 9:08 am

The Lancaster Bike Club had their 30th annual Covered Bridge Metric Century on Sunday and I made it!  Whehoo!  I have to admit that I was a bit nervous, but 63 miles after starting the ride I pulled into the finish line with my family there cheering me on.  Pretty cool indeed.  I LOVED riding with a group of other riders… it certainly keeps you motivated to keep going.

I on one of the hills I was heading down doing about 35 miles an hour a bee got stuck under my glasses and stung my forehead.  There were cars behind me as well as a whole slew of riders and I probably looked like an idiot going that fast downhill with one hand on the handle bars and the other swatting off my glasses trying to get this bee to go away.

Thanks goodness I’m not allergic.

Here’s the route we took.
