Proof I did it..

Here is the official map and the “bib” I was given when I rode in the poverty cycle.

I ended up riding the route with a young lady with whom I had a very interesting conversation – she’s one smart cookie.
And.. if you ride in the rain with a flu for 6.5 hours, chances are you’ll get sicker – hello chest infection.

Total: 52.8 KM (about 30 miles for the metrically challenged)
