Thank you all for the feedback. As luck would have it I busted a spoke on my super-reliable trek on Tuesday nights fun ride - first time Ive ever popped a spoke. I took the wheel to the local LBS and he still has it. So Ive been riding the road bike on the indoor trainer as its wet and wild out there.
Thanks for the tips on food. A friend of mine said the lunch stop on both days was very impressive.
