Ten years ago Ron rode the Holland Hundred bike ride with my brother David. They didn't train and even though they both completed the entire hundred miles neither looked so good. This should have given me a heads up as to what can happen when Ron pushes himself too hard.
Since today was supposed to be another record low for the high temps we both decided to tackle the ride again this year. Since I was tagging along we decided to just shoot for the 100km-around 65miles. We enjoyed a great ride together-a little fast for me at times but lots of fun together. We enjoyed a tasty pancake breakfast around mile 30 and a little ride on a chain pulled ferry boat. With the weather being so cool we both felt pretty good, and no, Ron did not get sick.
Once we arrived home we discovered the kids in the water, the sun had peeked through and with the sand warming up they had a blast running in the water then rolling in the sand to warm up-I chose to just lay and enjoy the little bit of warmth.

To my own defense, I remember finishing that race strong!
