It is that time of year again!

It is hard be believe that summer is coming to an end and that means there is another PPTC Historic Back Roads Century. Below is a message from PPTC. Hope to see you there!

Greetings!

Sunday, September 16th is the date of this year's edition of the Potomac Pedalers Touring Club's Historic Back Roads Century. The ride starts in Berryville, Virginia and meanders through the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Choose a distance of 100, 63, 50, or 25 miles. Enjoy great scenery, historic sites, and the club's famed tomato sandwiches at the rest stops.

Be sure to pre-register so you get a t-shirt and a pre-registration discount. Online registration will end Sunday, September 9th.

(If you have already registered for this year's event please disregard this message. Or pass it along to a friend!)

Hope to see you on the ride!

Great Day, Great Ride

To wrap up last year, I wanted to write that PPTC put on a great event! I successfully completed a half-century ride and my legs thanked me for stopping there rather than attempting the metric century. (I know, it would just have been another 12 miles but 50 miles was good enough for me that day.) It was nice to return from the ride to hear music being played and plenty of food to to eat. Additionally, there were booths set up outside and the FDA Health Fair inside the school. There were even massages given outside that help my sore legs recover!

Overall, the weather was perfect, the rest stops were well stocked, and all of the volunteers were great. I cannot wait until the next Historic Back Roads bike ride. Enjoy the pictures below from the previous post!
