Morning Glory Ride 2008


A few weeks ago I noticed a yard sign advertising this event, which I had never heard of, but could pretty much intuit what it was about. I registered me and the mister for it and we enjoyed the 10-mile ride this past weekend. We had to get up at 3:45 to get downtown for pre-course paperwork, and then off we went. The road winds along the Ohio River.
It only took about 45 minutes to ride the 5 miles out and 5 miles back. There was a longer route, but the mister preferred the shorter one. I acquiesced beautifully. After breakfast by the river with hundreds or thousands of other crazy people, we had a nice photo taken of us with the river in the background, then drove home to a very busy day.
I'm hoping next year we will do the longer route!

Well, I have to second that. You DID acquiesce beautifully, and I agree - next year we do the long one. With more padding on the bike seat.

Hey, glad you enjoyed the ride. We're planning 2009's Morning Glory Ride even as we speak. Er. Type. As always, it'll be on the first Sunday in August, same place, same time as last year.

Definitely go for the longer route... booming (DOWN HILL ALL THE WAY) through Eden Park is not to be missed.

See you there!
