Event Report: Bo Bikes Bama : I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

 I'm not sure if this is where I first heard it, but "I love it when a plan comes together" is something I say regularly:

As mentioned in my previous blog entry, I started this year unfit. I laid out a plan to fix that to include managing diet, following a workout plan, and completing a list of events for the year. The first 2 planned items were meant to prove to myself that I am ready for the first planned triathlon. The first was the Statue-to-Statue 15K and the second was the Bo Bike Bama 60 mile ride that I completed today. Those are both now behind me and the prove is completed!

The ride went well, but the last 20 miles had some good climbing in it. Given the first 40 miles, I was expecting an easy finish. The camaraderie amongst the riders was awesome. It felt like a party on wheels. Folks meander around and pick up conversations. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am happy to contribute to Bo's cause to provide assistance for those impacted by terrible storms.
