The Schlumberger Education Expedition Ride

Managed 56 miles over the course of a long morning. The ride started at 7 am and it was overcast and cool. We made the 10 am cutoff for the 82 mile route but decided to take the less tiring 56 miles and leave part of the afternoon to recover and get some chores done around the house. This has been the longest run I have done thus far - and have not been able to put in any back to back rides - Schlumberger are the maiun sponsor, and there was a competition for the best rest stop. Some of the local schools participating went to a lot of trouble to decorate and cheer the riders on. Lunch was cheerfully provided. We had a choice of a healthy subway and a less healthy couple of fajitas on the way back - Here is a picture of us attacking the lunch stand at the end of the ride.......
