Maria's the Name....

....of our latest SR recipient... The third (or fourth?) time proved to be the charm for Maria. She reeled in the big tuna on this weekend's 600K out of Lumberton, hosted by High Point RBA Tony Goodnight. Our sincere congratulations.

How did it feel to get 'er done? "It was a big bowlful of awesome," she said at the ride's finish.

Branson did "5 Questions with Maria" in August... Note that she listed finishing a 600K as one of her goals. Mission accomplished!

Here's a little video of Maria waving to the camera on a picture perfect weather day....

@all - Thanks! Esp to Mike for the videographer services and riding (pulling much of the way) with a cold. Beast.

@Vance - My ass sure was something after this ride...'bad' could be used to describe how it felt. Ow. :-)

@Dean - look who's talking! Your list of rides is almost as long as the 10,000k you've about finished this year. Impressive.

@sridhar - Oops. Great to see you even if it was briefly. I got a few pics of you at the start. Hope we didn't wake you up and that your ride went well.

Hope to ride with you all sometime in the near future.
