2009 City to Shore MS150 Day 1: Woodcrest Station to Ocean CityTeam crEATe rolled out into the dark, chilly morning. The ride opened up after the first rest stop, and my ride started clipping after the 50-mile mark. I used up all of my matches by mile 70, and seized so bad I had to get off the bike. I was able to make it to the finish, but it was a crawl. Voorhees, NJ: Pre-Benefit RideBack up in Jersey after a long time gone. Good day out in the country rollers, with temps just dipping into a slight chill in the shade. Had to put in more than 10 miles for this ride in a couple weeks, and before the team benefit. All in all, good effort.
