Great Pumpkin Metric 2011

Line too long to wait - we decided to wait until Rest Stop #2 when the shorter rides weren't competing for porta-john time

Mom and dad rode their second Great Pumpkin Metric yesterday, completing 65 miles in much less time than last year due to less wind. The morning started out frosty, in the mid-30s, and then warmed up just enough to be very comfortable. It was a very nice ride.
