Comments: Great ride, course, and organization. The only issue was poorly stocked aid stations. Running out of water at an aid station required us to ride extra to a gas station to buy water and refuel. What would you do differently?: I didn't eat enough from 75k to 125k. An aid station was also out of water. This caused me to bonk for about 45 minutes until my nutrition and hydration could catch up at the 125k aid station. The final 40k of the ride was better than the 125k to 166k portion of the ride. I tried to hang with a group that was riding a much faster pace for too long. This probably contributed to my bonk and burned my legs a bit. Post race
Warm down: Just riding back to the car. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need to fix a few things with my nutrition plan. Event comments: They need to fix a few things for next year, but overall it was a great tour and nice course. We couldn't have asked for better weather! More participants and a tighter starting block would lead better group riding. The two hour start window made the course quite sparse of participants. Last updated: 2017-08-26 12:00 AM
