The Citrus Tour Finis!


Finished and relaxing after a finish line Bubba burger. This is Kat, who I hesitate to call a new rider --she's really strong and even took a spill on some railroad tracks but soldiered on. At the finish, you ride up the approach to Bok Tower and there's a gauntlet of people cheering and a big BBQ tent and all the burgers you can eat.

The Citrus Tour Day Two


Day Two --Lunch! If you look on the right you can see the line for the lunch tent which is beyond the tent you see in the immediate foreground. Also, if you look carefully you can see that the tents are on a little lake. In the background on the left is my riding buddy, Bob, who I usually end up drafting off of.

Day Two, Mile 30 -- feeling **strong**

Day One ride finish at the Royal Caribe, Orlando -- 100 miles done, 50 to go in the morning.

MS 150 The Citrus Tour is this weekend, May 15th & 16th


This weekend I'll be cycling in The Citrus Tour from Bok Tower down 100 miles of country roads and ending at Sea World in Orlando to raise money for the National MS Society. On Sunday the return route is a little bit more direct, so after only 50 miles we'll be back at Bok Tower in Lake Wales. I did this ride last year and it was a lot of fun with great people and great scenery for a very worthy cause. If you'd like to donate, please click here and follow this blog for ride news and photos.
