Pre-ride shot at host/hostess Rick and Cathy's house (our starting point for the day). (09/15/2002)


Group shot at the covered bridge at Fallsburg Park in Lowell, MI. This was our 1/2-way point ~33 miles into the ride (09/15/2002)


A close-up shot of the group the the Fallsburg Park covered bridge. (09/15/2002)


Dan Clark & Chip look on as "New" Dan and John try to fix a broken seatpost clamp (the one that holds the saddle in place). This happened ~54 miles into the ride...or ~10 miles from "home base" (09/15/2002)


Local guy (and 3rd Place finsher in the World Solo 24 Hours of Adrenalin) Mark Hendershot offering his seatpost to Dan to use for the remainder of the ride. He calmly mentions, "I don't really need it". (09/15/2002)


Dan's bike, after realizing that nobody else (who would admit it, anyway) had the same 26.8mm size seatpost that he had...Hendershot's was a 27.2mm. Dan finished the remaining 10 miles sans saddle! (09/15/2002)


Here I am, proudly displaying the mileage from the day's ride...63.97 miles (09/15/2002)


Post-ride shindig at Rick & Cathy's house. They had great chili, chips, cookies & Founders Brewery beer...my new favorite! (09/15/2002)


Another post-ride get together shot at Rick & Cathy's. Just out of curiousity, how many people have a Beck's Beer umbrella hooked up to their picnic table? (09/15/2002)
