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.

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

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!

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.
