Included are pics from our Prouty Day. There are also video commentaries that Ben will include at some point. As seen by the alarm clock photo, we were up early on Saturday. Woke up to rain and it rained pretty much our entire ride so we weren’t able to bring our phones for photos or video. Made breakfast of champions and we enjoyed our food then headed out around 6:15. Passed some riders by our street who were doing the 100 miler. They must have left at 5am. As we rode into town, started passing groups of riders. Have some cool video of that. After a brief bike emergency at the start (Ben’s tire and spare tube leaked), we headed out into the rain for 50 miles of riding. We both had a blast, despite the weather. We rode at a good pace and finished in 3.5 hrs. The event was fabulously organized with great support stops and post-ride food. We are definitely planning to ride next year, so be prepared to get the begging emails again. Felt great afterwards which could be because we are in shape and also because the adrenaline rush we got from the ever itself. I encourage you to sign up for some event, be it cycling, paddling, running, or walking, for a cause that is meaningful to you. There is nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment for completing a task not just about you. Humbling.

Keep pedalin’
