2011-05-21 Salt Lake Century Bike ride

The bike ride is really 106.8 miles (not the 100 promised miles). Michael, Coray and I started at 7:30 am along with Rob Whetton (Jennie Smock's husband). Michael and Rob finished in about 6 hours, but it took Coray and me closer to 7 hours. The weather was wonderful, and it was fun to participate. We saw Barry Packer and Ray Hanson from our Cottonwood Heights 1st ward. We also saw Marlin Parry from our current ward. These three guys are old like me.

The most difficult part of the ride was the 7.5 miles into the wind across the causeway to Antelope Island.

Coray was tempted to turn around before the ride around Antelope Island, but he kept at it and rode his longest distance ever.
