I'm signed up for the 180 mile Pelotonia again this year, so what's another 30?30 is what we are doing, there are 60 and 100 mile levels as well. If you do sign up we'll have to meet up before the ride, out pace is probably to slow for you though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Okay, the ride was this morning, we got absolutely drenched, not only did it rain on us but it downpoured complete with lightening! Gotta say, that wasn't real fun But we made it, even though the route had quite a few big ass hills on it, gotta talk to the route coordinator about that, AND the fact that the 30mile route was really 34miles! I'm tired, and wet!Ride stats according to my bike computer... Total miles rode: 34milesTotal ride time: 3hrs, 5minutesAverages speed: 11.1mphMax speed: 29.8mph (big ass hill)Pictures will be posted later tonight. Combined, Melissa and I raised $475 for the charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCMathis Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Good Job SwingR, I know what you mean about the rain. We did the 100 miles and after the first 32 miles the skies opened up and just dumped on us. I am not sure about the hills for the 30 but they certainly changed the route for the 100 this year. Last year there were not as many hills as this year. I had a max speed of 44 mph on one of the downhills. That is moving along on a 1 inch wide tire. We had a great time though and looking forward to next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thanks. Congrats to you too for riding 100miles, thats insane! Did you know Mayor Coleman rode in the 60mile, we were eating our free lunch when he rolled in.That 29mph I hit on the hill was simply coasting, I didn't bother to shift up and pedal into it, I'm sure I could have easily topped 35 but hitting the pavement at those speeds with only a little helmet on didn't sound like to much fun ,figured why chance it.Next year we should see if we can get a "Ohio Riders" team together.

DiamoGirl Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I had a wonderful time riding, even though it rained on us. It is for a wonderful cause. Maybe next year we can get a few more people to ride with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
