Why only the 60? Because that's the only way for me to finish at about the same time as you, Rick and Rob.

And by the way, I've got not one but 2 helmets. As a responsible citizen I do my part to support the Chinese economy.

Thanks for the offer anyway.
Regarding that rest stop - I can't win an argument with Mr. Beanz, I've never done the 72 miles.

So thanks Rick and Moontrane for the clarification. I've done the ride 6 or 7 times and the rest stops have always been well stocked with stuff. One year they even had hammer gels.
