Home at last.

Just got home, so only a quick note before eating/showering/unpacking.

Easy ride today. No one opted for the 22mile loop, as a matter of fact the organizers discouraged it saying it really wasn't that scenic. All in all a fun trip, I definitely recommend http://www.massbikepike.org as a tour you should try.

More details in later posts.
