Ride Day: Closer to Free Ride

https://www.strava.com/activities/12350730505

My first ride! I’ve been running n marathons for the last few years and was doing this for cross training. Now I’m hooked I’d like to do 40 miles next year! Such a great organization.

Followed the group we were a little short but it was amazing very hilly start ended up better. 
Very emotional passing the patients at Smilo.

Great ride for a great cause.   I feel lucky to be able to participate.  ...

At least my “detour” was scenic along the coast
