My 8th MS150 was this past weekend. As always, the ride was challenging but fun. They changed the route this year and it was a nice change I think. It started in Florence and on day one people had the choice of going 35, 75, or 105 miles. I chose the 105 mile route and it was my fastest century to date. I pedalled for 5 hours and 40 minutes. I jumped on some fast pace lines and got pulled much of the way. Of course, I pulled my share too, but with 8 or 9 in the line, we all got plenty of breaks. Day two consisted of a 55 mile ride. I was able to jump in with the guys I rode with on Saturday and got done in just over 3 hours. My right knee was killing me though and I'm not sure why. It's still really sore when I walk and am hoping it'll feel better tomorrow.
