Yeah - here's a late report from Angela on this year's Hilly Hundred. A good time was had by all! Fifty miles each day on Saturday and Sunday rewarded us with the excuse to eat not-so-healthy food as we basked in some sunshine and relished the time with our friends from near and afar (AZ & PA). In fact, I had ice cream twice on Saturday during the ride and a Pepsi afterward!
Below are some pics. I'm still not very adept at riding without my hands on the bars, so I missed out on capturing some of the highlights. Nevertheless, my (not-so) favorite hills such as Mt. Tabor, Bean Blossom, Water Tower, and others defined the title of this annual, epic event. The Autumn leaves were gorgeous; I can't wait to do it again.

Everyone looks engrossed in their own Hilly thoughts & tasks in this group shot:
The costume contest may need reconsideration:
And, of course, the scraps of a Hilly lunch: fried chicken, ice cream, cookies, etc.

ack! I'm scared of the guy standing next to batman, wearing what looks like almost nothing on his bum.
No kidding! I wasn't bold enough to ask for a picture from the front. He's wearing a tux jacket and rolled his shorts up underneath. That had to be the most uncomfortable ride of the year.
