Comments: Luke and I stoped at every rest area to wait for the rest of our team. This was a ride, not a race. If it were a race, I could not keep up with Luke as he can grind at a good 22-24 mph pace (ex-mountain bike racer!) where I am more of a 18-20 mph when well rested and downhill/flat. What would you do differently?: Nothing, this was a blast, and the course was close enough to home to ride there and back to make a 100 mile training ride for me.  Post race
Warm down: Is an extra 21 mile ride in wind gusts back home a warm down? I caught a headwind for about 18 of those miles and really brought my daily average down from what the first 79 had been built on. However, think of the muscle tension in my legs for the workout! What limited your ability to perform faster: This was a ride, not a race so I was out to enjoy it. That and the four rest stops to re-group did nothing for my time! Event comments: Who makes a metric century ride a middle distance in their 100 mile training plan? Those looking to save on parking, ride close to home, and have a great day! I loved this event this year becuase I was trained for it. I was not as trained last year for the Tour de Tucson so I did not have the ability to hammer hills and then chill while others caught up. Yup, today this is a good ride for me, tomorrow- who knows? Last updated: 2008-02-27 12:00 AM

Biked 17.5 miles to the ride start line and met up with my group Team What! at our tent site. Had to check in as I did not do the early check in on Tuesday night.
I ate pop-tarts and then waited 15 min while they talked up the sponsors and started late.
