Comments:

This was a nice ride. Started off really well, but got a little boring after the split from the 100 milers. The course through the air force base was pretty neat with all the guys lined up on either side of the road rooting us on.

Since I finished around 10 I was done before it got too hot. I feel like I made the right decision by not adding in the training for 100 m to my plan but I still feel I cheated by not doing 100m. I'm thinking the effort may have been pretty similar since the pace lines are abundant for the 100m ride but fairly non-existent in the 100K. I was pretty much on my own after mile 30. Also, I did not stop at all.
What would you do differently?:

Train a little more and do the 100m. I also probably could have eaten and drank a little more than I did.

Tons of stuff going on surrounding the race. There were Odwalla bars and Clif bars of plenty.
