Had a great Independence day - nice hard 60 mile ride - two crashes and a blowout. Started with 25 riders, finished with 1. The last one standing is one tough dude - he just wanted to crush the last 8 miles, so I pulled most of the way, but I was really surprised he was able to keep up. He had done 100 miles the day before. He died on the last hill and his legs were literally shaking a the end, but it was way fun to go fast and long and have someone that can actually hang in there. Maybe I should jump into a bike race soon.
Anyway, had a fun lunch with the family when I got back. We had gone to the beer store and picked out a huge variety of beer, roasted little neck clams on the grill, potato salad, corn on the cob - yum.
Later, one of my neighbors put on a very professional fireworks display and I was glad we didn't try to fight the crowds to see another one.
