A Century

This past weekend, John and his team rode 100 miles (bikers call that a century) around coastal North Carolina and it was truly amazing to watch and be a part of such an exciting event.  There were about 15 team members and they could choose the length of their ride - 30, 50, 75, or 100 miles.  John's crew did 100 miles the first day (WOW!) and 30 the next day.  It really was a fantastic event for a great cause (National MS Society) and I was so proud to watch him come across the finish line each day!  Thank you to everyone who donated money - the team raised $5,000!  We are already looking forward to next time! 

Getting ready to cross the finish line after riding 100 miles!

Love this shot...such an accomplishment!  5 1/2 hours of riding - 8 hours total with stops.

Some of the team members regrouping after their rides.

Doctors were there to stretch the riders out and give massages.

Ready to go on the second day!!

At the start line...30 mile ride ahead of them!

And they're off!  So proud of him!!!
