Cycling started at 6 AM at 74 degrees from Burgaw June 20th. It would have been nice had it stayed that way.

19 cyclists started the Longest Day Ride at 6:03  AM. They were joined by more riders for the Tour de Blueberry, 103 strong, at 8:43. 20 more started the Fun Ride at the same time. Escorted by Burgaw Police Units we made a formidable parade past Court House Square as we headed to Pender County's lightly traveled rural areas.

Due to the expected 100+ heat index the longest day ride was officially reduced from an English Century to a Metric Century. Congratulations to those that persevered at either distance.
