Strength OK, but need a little work on the endurance. Actually had a proper cramp about mile 96 – long time since I experienced that! Great to ride with my homes- LJ and Russ. We were well matched and worked together really well. Siouxsie was rigged with gravel tires, just to make it a little harder.

I did all 113 miles!! Garmin issue and lost first 25 miles. – but if have to have issue on bike ride good with this. Great route – first 25 tame and pace line beautiful Next 25 mile’s kindergarten drew the pace line and pace was 5 peppers Organizers broke us into two groups and that solved the issues Then DPS officer showed up in pace line and one really mean person in car cut us off. But nothing ruined our fun and focus!!
