Event comments:

I originally planned on only doing the 100k route. But I decided to do the 200k instead. I was up to the challenge. I felt great the entire day and my legs were even better. Everything was going great until the final rest stop. I was talking with one of the sag guys and he said to me that there was a storm moving in. I told him impossible, it is sunny with a few clouds. He told me to look to the west and I did and there it was, THE STORM. I only had 24 miles left on the last leg of the ride or I could take a short cut and just ride into the finish which was about 5-6 miles away. I decided to play it safe and ride into the finish. I got rained on and my brakes absolutely sucked when they got wet so I am glad I didn't attempt to finish the course.

This is a great challenge ride with plenty of rest stops and food. If you have a chance you should give it a go.
