[RC] Patriot 100 - Lucy Chaplin TrumbullRoo and I completed our first 100 at Patriot last weekend andit's taken me this long to write the story and get everything straight. I still haven't found all my stuff and am still flopping about all over the place like a pathetic wet sock. It's like having heat stroke, *I* think I'm OK until I try and do anything vaguely complicated and realise what a waste of space I am. Patriot 100 was way more fun than I thought it was going to be and grateful thanks goes to Kassandra DiMaggio and her crew of volunteers for putting on an excellent and perfectly run ride. Special thanks to all the volunteers we kept out in the dark waiting for us to crawl by. The trail was fun - an excellent mixture of a bit of everything and the views were lovely. I even enjoyed the heat... kinda... Also special thanks to Farrier Ted for fixing us when we got done broke. The story can be found here: http://www.quacky.co.uk/~elsie/2008/Patriot-100/Patriot-100.htm Hopefully it's not too dull as I got a bit verbose about it (still totally stoked by this ride!).
