for you fellow midwesterners, who's doing RAIN (http://www.bloomingtonbicycleclub.org/tours/rain/rain.html) this year? i rode it for the first time last year. the first 40 miles was great. i was caught up in a fast group and we tore up the road. only thing is i forgot to refuel along the way. actually, i didn't forget so much as i was still getting used to eating gels on the bike. after that fast 40, though, i was in serious calorie deficit and was never able to recover the rest of the day. the 90+ temps didn't help, either.
but that was last year and i'm thinking i'm older and wiser and i may attempt it again this year. you gotta love a ride that bills itself "one day. one way. 160 miles." :D
