TierraBella ride

[stef_tm]

One of the local bike clubs has an annual ride - 60km, 100km, 100miles (160km), and 200km.
I attended Saturday and completed the 60km ride.

Some links and pictures to share:

Rest stop one at mile 12


Looking the other way (the business side)


Someone brought her dog for the ride; it's his 3rd year:


Bottom of hill sudden turn fail. Also known as "My Bloody Product Placement"


2nd rest stop at mile 23


My road bike was in the shop due to an accident I had last weekend; here's my trust 29" MTB that took me the 37 miles:


Picked up the roadbike yesterday. It's wet and overcast here today; hope to get a couple of hours of riding in before dusk. Still behind on training :-/

My friend chinders did Tierra Bella, it was her first metric century. She's planning her first imperial century, too.

Is she doing the ALCR? It would be nice to meet more folks.

After ALCR I'm going to do Wine to Waves and have also started triathlon training. The cycling is fun, though I am balance challenged!

I"m not sure what ALCR is, but I'd be interested - link? :)

It's the AIDS Life Cycle Ride 2011!

June 5th - 11th.

I had three wrecks in the last three weeks and am thinking of bailing on this year, but definitely doing 2012. Congrats on TierraBella!

Oh man, that's rough!

I really want to do the AIDS Life Cycle ride next year (didn't know the acronym) but it's too late for me to sign up this year. Plus I don't know that I'd be ready. :)

But yeah, I'd love to go next year. Also, we'll be doing some more centuries in the upcoming months if you'd like to join us for some training or an official ride. :)

That first photo is beautiful! :)

Sorry you got hurt though - take care of yourself, okay! *HUGS* :)

I'm impressed. I thought I'd done something big when I did 16 miles on my bike this weekend. :)
