I called it quits at that 60 mile sag station. I was so cold coming up to it that I couldn't shift without looking where my fingers were touching the levers (shimano). I could see blue skies in the distance and kept thinking it would be okay if they would just get to me. Luckily my wife drove from home to see how I was doing because it had started raining. I put my bike in her car at that sag stop and went back to Oggi's to get my truck and go back to pick up a couple of friends from the fire station. They told me of one rider who went on to finish from the station -- perhaps that was you. My garmin temp showed 44F, combine that with the rain and wind chill and you can understand why so many called it quits. I am impressed you finished it. And those bullshifters set a blistering pace for the first 40 miles. Me and my friends had to let them drop us at the 40 mile sag stop.
