My longest training ride EVER....

My friend and fellow rider Ryan and I had the opportunity to participate in the GranFondo Ottawa ride last weekend. What a great experience - 1500 cyclists participated in the 100, 170, or 220 km routes. We joined up with 2 other Wellspring Peloton riders, Dave and Jetje, for part of the route. We planned to do the 170k route as our first 'Century'...somehow...I made a wrong turn and ended up doing 196k!




Here's the route and stats as tracked by my Garmin:

So far with all the riding I have been doing this year...I'm actually feeling much stronger than last year. Actually, dare I say...I think I'm officially a cyclist now!

Less than 3 months to go...and fundraising has been going very well. Thank you to everyone for your support. We have some additional events coming up in August and September to give the fundraising an extra boost - will post the details another day.
