Hamster, I agree on the aerobars. I find them pretty comfy even with my slammed -17 degree stem and near zero pad height. They're essential for a double IMO - unless you're in a banana. I didn't do anything extraordinary for fueling...ate ~150 cal at each rest stop and had 2 gu's and 1 pack of shot bloks. Drank about 24 pounds of fluid which was probably another 1200 calories total. I'm pretty happy considering I've ridden one century in the last 19 months. Having a 1 and 3 year old means most of my rides have to be short.
Great job Brian! It was nice to meet you out there, and I bet you're up there in the top 10 overall with that time. I'm surprised you didn't top 50mph on the hells gate descent.
Sure was a great day out there on the bike. DV is such a scenic place to ride.
