The NSC offers distances from 25 &#8211; 100 miles, and we will be doing the 50 mile ride.  To get ready for the NSC, we did a training ride on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>After he got the tandem set up, we headed out towards Evanston and Lake Michigan.  The first stop after about 7 miles was at the Bahai Temple.  Really neat building from the outside.  We continued on through Evanston to Glencoe, eventually stopping at a small convenience store.  Once refueled in one sense and removing fuel in another, we headed back to their home.  <\/p>\n<p>On the way back, we went through the Frank Lloyd Wright street that&#8217;s in the area, stopping for photos.  We also stopped at Lake Michigan on the way back for another break.  I should have taken a gel when we stopped at the lake, but felt fine.  A couple miles from the goal, I ran out of energy and had to stop and use it.  <\/p>\n<p>In all, we did 37 miles of riding for the day.  And just like every long race deserves a beer, so did this ride.  We headed to Ten Ninety afterwards for some great beers!  I&#8217;m confident that we&#8217;re all set to ride 50 miles on 9\/18.  Come out and join us if you&#8217;re looking for a really fun ride and a great event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier in the year, I decided to do the North Shore Century (NSC) ride with my uncle.
