(Columbus Day, Evelyn's Birthday, I get to sleep in my own bed again!)
Pretty ride, some of the roads I've riden before!. The ride went right through downtown Carboro and Chapel Hill. I stopped at Performance bike shop and purchased a new rear blinker and a new blinker for the front of my bike. I rode along with Chris and his riding partner and took this picture of them at the Old Well in the middle of the UNC campus. I really left early so I could get to Raleigh in time to do everything I wanted to do this day. The place that the ride stayed at was really nice (Carolina Pines Park). This was Evelyn's birthday. Evelyn left work picked me up and I took her back to work, drove home, took a bath, washed my cloths, went to the grocery and purchased a cake mix and some Ice Cream, baked a cake, drove over to Broughton High School and picked up Rob from his driver's education class. Took Rob home, picked up Evelyn from work, picked up the kids from home and we all went out to eat at the Red Dragon Chineese restarurant on Fairview Road. We had ice cream and cake when we got back home, and Evelyn opened her presents and I got to sleep in my own bed. The next morning I noticed that my front tire was flat. I got REI to fix it with one of the spare tubes that I had with me and I was off to Wilson on the next leg. I found out later that a rider had crashed and broke his collar bone just past the first rest stop. The strange thing was that two days later the fellow who was riding with him crashed and broke his collar bone too!
