5/12/2008 Ride Report
We rode north from campus and turned west. We soon realized that we needed to have a slower pace for Bonny (correct me if I am wrong). We turned north and then south back on High. At 15th and High she headed back north to Clintonville. We headed south for a while and turned east. We ended up at the Crew Stadium for sprint races. I gave out a Genuine Innovations Proflate 16 to the winner, Evan (gain, correct me if I am wrong). We headed north along I-71 and turned west onto Indianola. We took Cooke down to High. Down High Street to Broadway and back to Indianola. We headed down Walhalla. Jeremy flatted both tires after running through two potholes. I headed down High towards the bar and headed back to my car. I rode 32 miles.

TOSRV Ride Report
Quick numbers and tidbits
Saturday 114 miles - Averaged 18mph. Sunny with a tailwind.
Combined weekend mileage - 225 miles - Averaged 16mph. It rained a lot on Sunday. We had tailwind on Saturday and mixed winds on Sunday.
Great organized ride. - A lot of support is needed for a ride of this magnitude.
We ate at the Portsmouth brewpub. Beer was OK. Food was not that great.
Make sure to put your bags on the correct truck so that your bags make it to the correct dropoff.
I got to camp in a tent for the first time in my life. We stayed in the field next to the stadium.
Met an entire 5 person family, The Ruffs, riding on one bike. 4 person bike with a trailer for the 5th.
We passed an Xtracycle with extended rear end and panniers.
