Team Crusty Rides the Metric Century!

Last month, Team Crusty participated in the Apple Cider Century. In a bold move, we decided to ride the Metric Century - otherwise known as 62 miles. The weather was gorgeous, lots of sunshine and comfortably warm. The "extra" 12 mile loop was at the beginning and had a lot of long hills, so we were pretty pooped by the first stop. But we actually did it! (With a lot of whining and groaning!)

The ACC was completely full this year with the maximum of 5,000 participants. We had numbers 4999 and 5000 - which drew a lot of attention during the ride! In fact, our numbers overshadowed the Team Crusty uniform touques. Maybe we need a flashier team uniform...
