Thanks, the ride (
http://gainesvillecc.org/gcf/index.html) was epic, heavy on the Fred factor though, but I would suggest it for anyone.
When I was walking and heard wheels behind me I looked for the coworker/team mate that I started with. He passed me 100yds before the finish. Had I not stopped to wait on him at the 2nd and 3rd rest stops I'd be waiting on him for 20-30 mins.
That was the longest ride I've done in a decade, easy. I plan on doing it again next year while trying to stay with the 4 hour group, which was 4:15 this year.
I'm waiting to see how many pics pop up of the 6-10 shop riders that went down.
btw: I saw 2 guys riding fixed and brakeless, trully sick. Maybe next year...
...or not?!
