The bad: I was sick with a cough & cold. I felt bonked before starting. Then I began chest-hacking and eyes swelling midday probably from the impending pollen bloom. Oh and there were some hills. And an afternoon windfest.
The good: Excellent route. Few turns. Minimal checkpoints. Minimal traffic, since it's definitely not boating season yet. Friendly dogs. Lots of idyllic trees. And our first RUSA ride credit in VA. [update 4/11] Oh, and I almost forgot: Two separate motorcyclists gave us the secret cyclist wave. Yes, two. So cool!

Geek whining: In my never-ending quest to appear tres chic, I uploaded photos to Facebook from my wifi-only phone at the start and finish on Sunday. Unfortunately, Facebook didn't publish them until I signed-in again from my phone on Tuesday night. And it published them three minutes apart. So unhelpful. Rando Skiff even thought we were starting a night ride. I must work on it...
Thanks to Rando Tim for preparing cards and processing our results. A great day on the bikes.
