Ride Report: 2011 MS Tour de Farms

Day 1, Rest Stop #3 (came back through twice more - once for the 100-mile loop, once for the 125-mile loop)

The weekend before last I participated in the Multiple Sclerosis Society's "MS Tour de Farms" bicycle charity ride.  It is a two-day ride that is held annually in DeKalb, Illinois, which is about 70 miles west of Chicago.  This was the first year that I did the MS ride, but it probably won't be the last.  Near perfect weather was just the cherry on top of a really fun, well-supported event.

So I have been an on-again off-again participant on this photography contest site - DPChallenge.com (Digital Photography Challenge).  I kind of went off on photography for some time, but have been working myself back into it.  So, I submitted an entry for a recent challenge with the them of Night Shot and . . . I got 5th place!!

You don't get anything but bragging rights, but I'm pretty jazzed about it.
