Up The Creek Without A Pedal 2016

Left to right front, Rachelle Bitterman, Sharon Thompson
Back row left to right, Lonnie Wormley, Alan Bitterman and Richard Thompson.

I rode this ride for the second time this year.  I rode the 109 mile route.  I had fun hanging out with my friends before and after the ride.  As usual I rode mots of the ride by myself after the first rest stop at mile 20. I was the last 109 miles on the course and I finished about 20 minutes in front of the last 4 104 mile riders.

I enjoy this ride because is has lots of hills and one 2 mile grade that is really challenging.  Below is my ride report.

I took some video of the ride.  This will give you an idea of what the area looks like.

I also wanted to visit a few of my favorite spots before I left.

Georgia on my mind

Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
