Bacon/Grilled Cheese Ride


Rachel, Karen, Jason, and myself met up in Potomac, MD on Sunday at 7:30am to ride bikes... 


Karen had set up a wonderful ride with a rest stop at her Aunt's in Frederick, MD. They were so sweet and had all the food anyone could ask for!


Instead of writing a full recap of how our ride went, I will just write a recap by the numbers ....
 
* number of cue sheets forgotten: 2

* number of people who never made it to Karen's Aunt: 1

* number of bacon strips consumed: 4 (by me)

* number of grilled cheeses eaten: 2 (by me)

* number of people who didn't feel like riding back after our rest stop: 3

* number of people who said they were slow and they are actually fast: 1

* number of chains dropped: 1

* number of people to put chain back on: 2

* number of crashes: 1

* number of times we lost Karen: 1

* number of people who laid on the ground at the BP in Poolesville: 1

* number of bugs eaten: 1

* number of feet climbed: 5,400


* number of hills: way to many!

* number of miles ridden: 78

* number of times I thought my bike might tip over going 4-5 mph up hill: greater than 10

    2. Jason, I think that return trip hill on Old Hundred Rd was when you asked me if I was in my small ring. I was like, yeah! This is all I've got!! Haha!

      Beth, It's a great ride. Holler if you want the cue sheet to use for some of the roads. Plenty of gas stations and stuff along the route for refueling.
