Ride day! America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride



What an awesome ride! The water was very clear and the weather was great! It was a bit chilly in the morning (mid 40's) but we were all bundled up.

The route is a complete circle around the lake, with an out-and-back to Truckee to make the ride an even 100 miles. We stopped many times to take pictures and cheer on other teammates so this turned out to be my longest century ride (10:50). All in all, I would highly recommend doing this ride at least once in your life.

Team in Training ended up raising $8.5 million for this ride. The San Diego Rock n' Roll Marathon was the same day and $12.5 million was raised there...so $21 million was raised towards cancer research that day.
