On Saturday, July 21, Harv, John, & Marc joined bicyclists of all types for the annual Holland Hundred. The photo shows us at the start. If you click the link PHOTOS! on the left you can see a photo of us at the end of the 100 miles. (Speaking of photos, I've organized them into folders but I still have more to add.)
The weather was surprisingly cool for July and a little windy at times, otherwise, a perfect day. My computer says we averaged 17.25 mph. Considering our preparation, equipment, and age, we were happy with that result. Congrats to John on completing his first century and to Marc for his first Holland Hundred.
We met a lot of friendly cyclists that day. We rode with 3 ladies for about half the route and enjoyed getting to know them.
David Fik, I'm sorry we did not keep up your tradition of jumping in Lake Michigan at the county park rest stop. It just wasn't hot enough to require that much of a cool-down.

There's another century in Muskegon coming up. I think it's September 8. Anyone interested? Only $15 preregister or $20 on that day.
