  • Comments: I've done this ride 3 times - twice in the rain and once in the snow. I have a feeling that the weather is always going to stink with this one, so I may as well get used to it.

  • Comments: Getting over the shivering was rough, and the fact I was so cold made me feel better about bailing. I do want to try this again next year, but only if the weather is better. Race day registration next time :) It really got me riding earlier in the season and I'm grateful for that. It was also Carrie's longest ride to do, so a victory in that regard as well.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I clearly wasn't prepared for the distance. Should have rested at each rest stop. Should have put in several sixty mile routes before race day vs 20 mile routes. Although the weather was a bit cold, I was dressed appropriately. Kept warm throughout the race. Possibly too many layers which may have contributed to excess tension on my shoulders. Can't wait for next year. LOL
