Comments:

This was a "Tour" so it wasn't really a race for the 48 milers (although it was about 51.5miles). There was a good tailwind and it was fairly flat on the way out. Covered 20 miles in the first hour. However, we did head back to the start and tailwind turned into a headwind and there were monster hills, which I don't do very well.
Post race
Warm down:

Just changed clothes and ate some of the free post-race food.

Event comments:

I recommend this "Tour" it was a good time and if you did the 70 mile event there were cash prizes.
