Comments:

ESE winds at 14 gusting to 22 and windy. It was NASTY going into the wind. Spinning smallest gear at times. Couple longer hills on the first half.

What would you do differently?:

Prep more for the hills. Overall pretty good considering I've only put 200 mi to date on the bike outdoors.

Event comments:

Decent ride, not really a race.

First stop was Ok (legion) and had TONs of snacks and drinks. 2nd stop was at a school that didn't all cleats to be worn inside (makes sense), but since I was duct taped up, didn't take off shoes.
