My feet needed a break. "My dawgs are barking too," said
Todd P. (the guy in the black jersey).
He came all the way from St. Louis! He knew he was going to be
on Cape Cod on family business,
so he shipped his bike, and he drove up from Hyannis on the day
of the ride.

Lots of antique cars came through Petersham.
~~~
The Country Store in Petersham is a magnet for all kinds of vehicles.
~~~
This bike looks comfy.

At the finish you get watermelon
and the right to model the King's crown.

In 2005, detours to avoid construction on Route 122 added some
climbing.

metric century,
and Bill D. reported 7635 feet of climbing on the 100-mile
route. Bill D.'s data is here.
