A Great Day for a Ride

First, we have to apologize for being so slack about posting to our blog. I wish we could say that we have just been on our bikes every day and haven't had time in front of the computer. Unfortunately, we've been in front of the computer doing non-bike related activities, like working.

Regardless, the Renovation Riders have been doing what they can to get the training miles in to prepare for the big week that is right around the corner. Last week the Newbies saddled up for a 20 mile ride after work. Lisa and her buddy Nate also spent Saturday afternoon busting mud puddles on the C&O Canal path. Their 50 mile ride started at White's Ferry (note how clean they are in the pictures), went into Georgetown and then back out the W&OD trail to Vienna. What a day!

Below are a few photos of the day. It was a beautiful and we're getting stoked for the big ride.

On the ferry pre-ride. This is actually the starting point for our last day on the big ride.

A few miles into the ride. See all the spots on Lisa's shirt and face? It was a lot muddier than they expected!

A stop at beautiful Great Falls.

Did we mention it was a little muddy?

This weekend, the riders are headed to Ohio where they will join Team 509 for their 50 mile ride to raise money for the Campaign. More pictures and posts to come. We promise to keep you updated during the actual ride.

If you have any additional donations to send our way, be sure to get them in the mail this week so we can put them toward one team or the other pre-ride. We need your support!
