This weekend Ryan and I set out for the 5th Annual 100 Miles of Nowhere – our second time participating in the event, but the first time I was aiming for 50 mountain bike miles. We got to the Ocala area on Friday night and picked up dinner at Cracker Barrel, where we ran into someone famous: Dottie!! (Minus some…read more →
Well my weekend started – and ended – with a bang. And by “bang” I mean “workout”. It all started with a Saturday morning long ride bright and early (for me) at 8:30am. ^That’s my “hurry up and take a picture before they get back from the bathroom shot” because the friends I rode with don’t quite know how many…read more →
