On Saturday October 9, 2010 I was one of over 8,000 bicyclists to participate in the Sea Gull Century in Salisbury, MD. My riding group consisted of Joe, John and Phil Sabelhaus and Jeannie Greenwell. Only John Sabelhaus had completed a 100 mile event before, so the rest of us were more than a little apprehensive about being able to complete the whole course. The weather was perfect – not too hot, cold or windy – and the road was flat. There were four rest stops at 20 mile intervals throughout the loop. The 4th rest stop was my favorite as they served wonderful slices of pie and ice cream! Just what a tired and hungry biker needed in order to finish the race. We are already planning to participate next year and raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network with mile pledges. Perhaps you would like to join us?
