North Shore Century ride

Today I participated in the North Shore Century ride. A one hundred mile round trip ride from Evanston, IL to Kenosha, Wisconsin through the North Shore suburbs. The route has about a 3,000ft elevation gain.

Overall it was a good experience and I felt pretty good the whole way. I did end up getting lost two to three times. Something that is not pleasant, especially when you end up having to ride extra miles. You also waste time trying to find your way. I ended up riding a total of 106 miles in about seven hours.
fun fun...

PS: My deepest apologies to my brother Michael and my good friend and riding buddy, Wilson. I let them both down this morning when I failed to get out of bed on time. I am not very happy about that. I am also not at all happy with the 'weekdays only' alarm feature on my phone...
