Bucket 100 Bicycle Ride.

Last weekend I did a charity bicycle ride from Lafayette IN to Bloomington IN to benefitHabitat for Humanity. The total ride was 129 miles and I did it in two days. Day one was around 65 miles and everyone stopped by Danville High School for the night. First day was particularly hard due to a strong head wind. Second day was around 58 miles, there were a few big hills to climb but overall second day was a lot easier. I rode my Single Speed Specialized Langster Comp, the bike worked great for this flat terrain ride. Once we got to IU we were notified that the bus that was suppose to take us home broke down....so we had to wait until 9pm to go home.
Here is a map of the trip, It's not the actual trip route but gives people a sense of distance.
Lots and lots of country roads, and that is me in the picture.
We had a police escort out of Lafayette, it was really cool.
camped out on the track above the Danville High School Gym.
Thanks Connie for the pictures!
