...and no, I am not the legend. But. This past weekend the Bent Rim Bicycle Club participated in its first ever organized ride/race. It was a beautiful weekend in Tuscaloosa. Freight Train, Alberto/Team Leader, And I(King of the hills) took on the "Hot Hundred" bicycle ride. We didn't ride the full hundred, just 46 miles. This was the longest ride that any member of the fledgling club had ever done. Our previous long was 36. The weather was great, 79F at the start, it definitely warmed up over the 3 hour ride but we were helped out by a shady (as in blocking the Sun, not questionable character) course that winded its way through Tuscaloosa and Greene Counties.
Carlos loaded and ready to go. Carlos is the official sag wagon of Bent Rim Bicycle Club and does a great job of transprting "Black Betty' and "Betty White"
Team Picture: L to R, Freight Train, Alberto, King of the Mountain
Freight Train and Alberto looking stylish minutes before the start.
Alberto and Freight Train rollin' through the back roads of Tuscaloosa County. this is about 40 miles into the ride and the just keep hammering away.
King of the Mountain and Betty White looking good and feeling good. 4000 calories burned and all I could think about was what to do for lunch. unfortunately there were no buffets on the route.
So, that is the story. Had a great time with some great friends. and look forward to doing it again soon.
Special thanks to Mr. Tuscaloosa for providing us with a place to stay and to Ms. Nohio for providing alot of laughs along the way.
