We took it real easy on this season-closer! Despite nearly time-trialing in the first 30 miles, the finish time for Ken and I was not much less than our first century three years ago.

But this ride is not about going fast. Rather, it’s a time to relax and take in some scenery… and say goodbye to the summer.
