The photographers for the Ride for the Roses have started to post some of the pictures online. I thought I'd share a few. It was a fun century for a good cause. There was some 30 or so miles into a strong wind. It was difficult but made all the time riding with a tailwind that much better; 30 plus MPH was never so easy! My dad rode with me and actually finished before me. I had some GI distress brought on by Odwalla but my total bike time was less than my dad's. We hope that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) can reach its goal to eliminate cancer death and suffering by the year 2015. Donating to the Lance Armstrong Foundation is a good way to help not only reach this goal but to help cancer victims. Donations can be made at www.livestrong.org.
After looking at the pictures from the ride, I feel like I look like one of my favorite running backs from the Steelers. Yes, you know who. It is the Bus! I remember the first time I saw him run. It was at a BYU home game versus Notre Dame. Bettis got the ball on one play and virtually ran over all the defense on his way to the end zone. The worst was the free safety who came up and hit him high, only to be rolled up like a burrito as Bettis took it to the house. Don't get in the way of a moving bus! On a cycling note, the Chilly C Cycling Bus stayed at the station last night. No routes were run.

I like the part where the Chilly C bus stayed at the station. :0)
