LML - Lakeville-Milltown-Lakeville
Saturday was the early season LML - 92 mile course with over 6,000 ft of vert gain. Now that'd be a good challenge, but how about we do it with temps just above freezing and 15 mph sustained head-winds for the last 40 miles.
Here's a clip from my rear-facing GoPro:
To say the roads were bumpy would be an understatement, the pot-holes, washboards, and frost-heaves really tested my fillings - best I can tell, I kept 'em all. I used a stabilizing software to get this video that smooth.

Afterthought - the number of water bottles littering the first 15 miles was a statement to the rough road conditions. Sveta (with a baby in a trailer), she picked up tons of the bottles along the short (40-mile) route.
