'Assault on Sugarloaf' 30-56-112 mile rides, Sept 14th (Page 2)

What no brick run, jeez

I'm thinking about putting "BT" & "Donto" in permanent marker on my arms and calfs.  Say Hi if you see me!

Since you were there last year, any suggestions of where that place would be??  

I will look for you, as I'm sure I won't be far from the coffee...but I"m really bad with names AND faces but I look just live my avatar...except my hair is actually fairly blonde and far too long to manage...I'll be with a dude who isn't much taller than I and has short blonde hair as well...I'm not sure what I'll have on, but definitely my PINK sunglasses.   

So tell me more about the coffee!!  Do they have food before the ride as well???  I need to get my $29 worth, or whatever the ridiculously low entry fee was. 

Coffee, I have to hydrate with coffee in the mornings!  I'll look around too, I'll have on my UF Gators bike jersey.  I figure that we'll be arriving around 6:30 or so.

BTW, do the restroom facilities by the lake have showers in them?  I can't remember as the last time I was there was in the Spring of 06 for the TriAmerica LC race.

Mimir98 - 2008-09-15 6:55 AM it was HOT!!!!  Wow was it HOT!!  And we live in HOT   It seemed the last 40 miles were the hardest...and they were flat.  But windy.  And HOT, as it was getting late by then.  Sorry we never met up with any of ya, but there was NO COFFEE!!!! 

But the ICE COLD Mountain Dew at the end tasted SOOOOOO good. 

That was a good time!  I thought 'the wall' or whatever it's called before Sugarloaf was the hardest climb.  SL was good  actually enjoyed it, and the 'sisters' were a nice tease.  Last 15 miles are so heading back in with the rollers were killing a lot of people.  And yes it was hot. 

We got there late but I was able to run into 'flyinfree' (aka Todd) at the 1st SAG station, nice to meet you man! Mimir98, you weren't the only one wearing pink sunglasses!

I felt pretty good at the end so I went for a 2 mile brick run after I put my gear away , now that was HOT!

I'm going to have to make it a point to head over there for a ride at least once every 2 months, we have nothing like that on the coast.

Till next time...

I agree...thinking I should head up more often, as our only hills are the few bridges going over intercoastals, which are not hills....at all!!!  I don't do Dew, but would have loved a cold coke at many points during the ride.  I got a killer cramp at mile 110 and just wanted them to chop my leg off to make it stop!   I consumed 4 - 1.5 hour/20 oz bottles of infinit, 120+ oz of water, 6 gels a few fig newtons, a few donuts....then after had 20 oz of endurox, 60 more oz of water, about 20 oz of OJ and one beer...I never peed during the ride, and didn't pee until I got home about 8pm last night.  Guess I should have drank more??????!!!!!!

Today, I can say it was fun.  Yesterday?  heh. 

I have the Horrible 100 as a TBD, so just maybe we'll all be there again.

I got the email that the pix are up, here I thought a little celebration was needed!
