10-year-old completes 100-mile bicycle ride

Via HometownAnnapolis.com


On Oct. 4, Teddy Collinson completed the Seagull Century 100-mile bicycle ride from Salisbury to Assateague Island and back. Teddy recently turned 10. He lives in Edgewater and is a fourth-grader at the Key School. He is the son of Sharyn and Tom Collinson.

Teddy's account of his ride:

My dad told me about the Seagull Century when I was 6. He had done the ride several times with his friends and thought I could do it some day.

When I was 7, I rode 60 miles of the Seagull Century on a tag-along pulled behind my dad's bike. The very next year, I did 60 miles of the Seagull on my own bike. It took me about 9 hours in the wind and rain.
