No worries the Lake Louie's, Scotch, and fine time spent on the patio chatting was worth the trip!

Don't feel too bad about only doing the 150. You're still my hero, as the 100 was still pretty challenging for me!
I was pretty happy with my performance, though, as I trimmed about 45 minutes off of my time from last year. This, despite the fact that it was a good bit harder this year. I missed the first two miles on my Garmin, but it said that I did 4996 ft. of climbing in the 60 miles, which took 3:59 of riding time.
Nobody can match Pete for speed and distance, but I hope to get my time down further next year (perhaps on a racier bike with a modern drivetrain) and possibly do the 150.
In any event, it was great to see you and the family, and I hope that we can get a bigger group back together next year!
