Comments:

This was a very well supported tour, with Aid Stations every 10 miles or so. Lots of food at each Aid station.

I would pretty much do my own thing and then wait for the rest of the group at each Aid station, which dragged down my time. But it was fun. Katie was keeping up pretty good, except on the hills. Somehow, I've become alright on the hills.

PSA - If the race directors tell you to slow down, SLOW DOWN. A guy in front of us ran into a guard rail on one of the descents. He apparently sliced his guts up. I'm hoping that he's ok.

Wonderful day for a tour, great weather.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. It was just a fun tour

Brick run

Event comments:

Well done tour, the 100k was nicely done. Pretty course for the most part, around the peninsula, with very nice food at each stop. Well marked, so I didn't get lost. Lots of bikers, both doing the course, and not.
