This is the Portland, OR Tour de Ronde. Brutal ride. My buddy dropped out at about mile 35. Nice thunderstorm had me hiding under a tree. Got lost twice.

Tried to load the course in my 705 but it wouldn't read the tcx file when I put it in the course folder. I guess I have to use the crs or gpx files, just not sure where to drop them. Anyone? Wouldn't have gotten lost but oh well, I don't think I missed any of the hills. Some brutally steep climbs, 25% i think. Next year I wont pace myself so slow, I really went slow to start with.

I heard someone finished in just over three hours.

Here is the actual mapped out course in case someone wants to try it. Kick ass ride!!!!!! You can download the route.
