Victoria Claflin Woodhull was born 187 years ago today. She became a spiritualist, suffrage leader, advocate for "free love," newspaper editor, and the first woman nominated to run for president of the U.S. at 34, too young to hold the office. She made her first fortune as a magnetic healer (?) and another fortune running a brokerage on Wall Street with her sister, Tennessee Clafin. She married three times, the third time after moving to England in 1877. She died at Bredon's Norton, a village in Worcestershire, England, in 1927. I planned to ride 36 miles, but it turned into 42 miles due to the Wahoo's poor ability to navigate around road closures at the start. No biggie. I planned a hard ride at the end, because there are a few of those on the Climate Ride. And, yes, it was hard. I had to walk up a couple of pitches on Fountaingrove of almost 15%. But overall, it felt good, even if I did have to stop a lot near the end. And two bottles of ice water were just enough.
