Hope you all had fun!
Wow, I wish I could have gotten there that fast. Despite only being on the bike for 6 or so hours, I didn't roll in to La Grange until around 2:45ish, and Austin until 2.
Some of those downhills are a blast though, except for when I had to slow down because of someone in front of me. I had really bad luck where I would pass someone, scoot over to allow someone to pass and as soon as I was going to pass the next person, a huge train of riders would come roaring through so I lost tons of momentum. I was pretty proud that I didn't have to walk up any hills, despite only having one hilly ride under my belt. Actually, I thought the Schulenburg ride hills were worse for some reason. Of course now I've got a goal for next season; get waaaaaaay better at hills.
