Paul did the 100k without mishap and Ellie, my daughter, did the 25 mile ride with her brother (Nat) and her dad and mom. That would be my husband, (PJ) and I on our tandem!! We had such an enjoyable ride on a beautiful day with great organization. What a wonderful coming together of different people and interests.
