Re: Harpeth River ride report

It was great to see the MBC members today at the ride. My intentions, just like two other friends, was to ride the 100 miler.
I got so over-heated.....leg cramps started, so I just did the metric with Bill, Mike, Chris, and Gil.
Thanks guys

Re: Harpeth River ride report

I felt like I did the 100 today but I kind of lost count after the heat stroke. I can't figure out why my odo said 44...

The shady back roads were nice but when we got out in the open, it was as hot a ride as I've ever been on. Congrats to all of you that did 62.

Man, what a hot ride. At the 2nd rest stop we saw Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and yes he was riding. Cary and I shook his hand.

Did you give a little nudge on him helping to bike accommodations?

Re: Harpeth River ride report

We avoided politics on this day (especially since we're not his constiuents).

Re: Harpeth River ride report

did any mention it was HOT on Saturday?? And congrats to new rider and new club member Rosalind Teal on completing the 43 route - her longest ride yet!

Re: Harpeth River ride report

We did the 62 route. It was hot. At one point I stopped in the shade around 50 miles and the SAG truck asked if I needed help. I must have looked pretty bad. I did not need a lift, but they gave me more water and I made it in.

I saw a lot of people standing and sitting under shade trees. Mayor Dean was still moving when we passed him.

The HBC put on a great ride.
