On Saturday, I finally got to do a ride I had been planning on for years, the Central Ohio Tour de Cure, benefiting the American Diabetes Association. This ride was the first reason I even bought my road bike this year, and the whole experience, from fundraising to the finish, was absolutely perfect.

The weather was amazing. A light breeze, low 70s and mostly sunny, with just enough clouds to make the sky look that much more blue. Our 62 mile route took us through some beautiful rolling hills and graceful farmland in Franklin, Licking and Delaware counties.
Tom had a bit of a problem with his rear wheel, as a few spokes were giving up the ghost, causing it to go out of true and hop pretty badly. But even that couldn’t spoil the mood, and we were met by the SAG wagon once to try and fix it. Great guys.
