Sea Gull Century Bike Ride

 

On October 5, 2013 the two CSO owners, Steve and Miranda, embarked on the 101 mile bicycle ride known as the Sea Gull Century.  The ride is organized by Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland and 2013 marked the 25^th anniversary of this century ride.  The event kicks off with a reception and cycling expo Friday evening, followed by the century ride on Saturday.  A lawn party with refreshments and music was available after the ride.  The event offers riders three separate courses.  Two at the century distance (100 miles) and one at the metric distance (62 miles).  We chose the Assateague Century course, which makes a stop on Assateague Island, which is known for its nature park with wild horses.  The course is primarily flat with a few rolling hills.  The biggest challenge of the day was overcoming the unusually hot weather (90 degrees in October!).  Overall, it was a great ride and despite the heat, we managed to complete the 101 mile course.
