After completing the 25 loop I rejoined the ride at the 40 mile mark. I remember that point. I looked at the route map for the century and it said 75 miles. I thought "Good grief! 25 miles to Kinston!". I looked the other route map I had for the 75 mile route and it said 50 miles. I thought "Good Grief! 25 miles to Kinston!". There was no way around it I still had 25 miles to go and I had ridden 75 miles. I noticed that all the folks who I was riding with were going very slow and looked tired. I noticed that the "SAG-WAGONS" were passing me. Then it hit me, I had rejoined the end of the ride by extending it 25 miles. This rest stop was pretty soon after the 50 mile mark and I told these folks to smile I would put their pictures on the WEB. Well guys here you go. The next rest stop was the last one for the day. At that stop I joined up with a couple that had ridden the century also. He was doctor at Rex Hospital in Raleigh and remembered seeing me riding to work along Blue Ridge Road.
