70 miles. Period.

Yesterday the rain came. We waited... and waited... and waited... for it to stop. But it didn't. So instead of riding we had a nice day of sitting around the hotel. It seemed like a very long day.

So today we made up for it.

Billy picked a route out of Fayetteville totaling around 70 miles. We split into two groups and headed out into the country. Although we had to fight the urban expanse for awhile, we finally hit some good rollers out in the country. At the end of the ride we were justly rewarded with a tour through the Lake Weddington State Park - probably one of our favorite areas to cruise through. The landscape, dominated by rolling hills and trees covered in dried up vines always makes for a fast and interesting ride.

Jorgen and Devon headed out on a 100+ mile ride north of Fayetteville. The map of the route looked forboding. It snaked around a lake, hit up a couple mountains and then stumbled into Fayetteville via county road. Although I haven't heard much about it yet, I'm happy they came back alive...

Tomorrow - hill workout!
