Comments:

I got the boy through safe, sound and happy. The climbs up to the Air Force Memorial were tough but doable. Just a wonderfully fun event.
Post race
Warm down:

Waited around to go on stage as the 'Republican Captain.' Hilarious. Then back to the hotel for a shower and some food.

Event comments:

This is a neat event. Over 1300 riders on a 9 mile course of varying abilities. It was great for the boy. Couldn't be happier. Maybe next year ... silver.
