Kudos to Blake Lambert & his team for one of the best - if not THE BEST -
organized cycling events in North Carolina. What makes it special?
- The routes are well thought-out. They didn't search out every
agonizing hill in North Carolina when they mapped this out, so you'll get
lots of normal rolling terrain, with typical rural scenery.
- A surprising number of distance options means someone really thought
through the route mapping
- Volunteers that cover the routes (all of them) for as long as 10.5
HOURS. If you've ever had an event pack up rest stops before you got there
(yep, it's true), you'll appreciate this fact.
- Blake road skates the routes at the back of the cyclists, so if you
can pedal as fast as he can skate, you're supported for 100 miles. NOBODY
else in North Carolina gives you this.
- There WILL BE food when you get back. Margaret's in the kitchen
cooking it, so you don't have the problem of the FastBoyz scarfing down
everything in sight before you are even half-way through your ride.
- There WILL BE people at the finish when you get there...even if yours
is the last car in the parking lot.
- There WILL BE lots of rest stops, with good selection of eats &
drinks, each manned by a pleasant volunteer.
- You don't have to book a hotel room to do this century (or any of the
shorter options)
- All proceeds go to the National MS Society
- *Early weather forecasts are AWESOME! Perfect fall riding conditions -
pretty leaf colors - sunny skies - fantastic ride!*
Get out and RIDE! And thanks again, Blake, for another year of Carolina
Century. It's a big job for you & your team to undertake, and the cycling
community appreciates your efforts!

*I would like to publicly state that Dayle Fitzgibbons actually rides at
her advertised pace. *
No kidding! If she says it's 14-15 MPH, she's not making it up. She will
not ride off & leave you in the dust, if you can do 14-15 (or whatever pace
she states for a ride).
Very few people out there like Dayle. Great ride leader - GREAT addition
to the Triad cycling scene.
Thanks Dayle!

Rest stops - AWESOME- --- FOOD - AWESOME - ,---- back at the start - really AWESOME!... SO much I hung around and helped out and was there for Skateylove's return... just AWESOME!!! - Really!!
Thanks to all involved...
Now where is the Epsom Salts? and why didn't I know I should've cleaned the tub so I could just get right into it?
