Today's Cycle to Serve metric century was ridden under rare and beautiful sunny skies today. A great ride and great post-ride atmosphere made it a wonderful day. Please pass your thanks on to Bob Giduz and all of the good folks of the Lenoir Rotary Club for their impeccable planning and operating procedure!

Perpetual party boy Tom Boonen tested positive for cocaine for the second time. A) Cocaine is soooooooooooo '80's, but I guess meth would probably be out, too.
