Croom 35/50 February 5th 2005
 
Two nights before the event we had a good rain to pack the trails and lower the temperature. Thanks to all that made this a Big Fun Day.
 

   


50 miles of single-track. No roads. No horses. No problems.
lots of hills provided great opportunities
iPod crankin' the tunes while Mike was crankin' the pedals
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
bike parking at the SAGs was a minor problem
our volunteers did a fantastic job of keeping the tables stocked
there were four SAG stops and each was different
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
riders returning from the 50 miler
everyone settled in for an outstanding dinner
salad, grilled chicken, shrimp, pasta, corn, and fresh strawberry shortcake
master chef Marc Alton boiling the shrimp
Sue Lee making sure everything was just right
a chance to relax, and relive the days ride
there was some discussion on who was faster
all smiles at the end of the day
packed up and heading home
