Cycling: Lance Armstrong Foundation Ride

My cousin Kelly invited me up to Portland for the inagural Lance Armstrong Foundation ride. We got up early Sunday morning and made our way out to the Nike Campus in Beaverton. The start was a chilly, chilly fall morning but the sun soon came out and warmed our bones. We decided to do the 40 mile course which was very flat. There were rest stops every 10-miles and I must have eaten a pound of gummy bears between all the stops.

Kelly did a great setting a steady tempo over the whole course. At the end of the ride we went back to Kelly's for blackberry pie baked special for me by Georgia Kessi. Next year we have to do the 70 mile course.
