The tour was a heat/humidity defeat also they said support would stop at 3 pm. That didn't matter I was cooked by noon
the wife support was a 16 hours 5:30 am start and a 9:20 pm stop. I did not eat enough.
only the tour was done with a saddle that fit properly. I cant stress enough how much better the ride was when i had a good saddle .

I am still training for another attempt with better hydration, food and more comfortable adjustments it's gonna happen for me. at about 12 mph average
I am also a clyde weighing in at about 300 lbs with bike and camelbak.

Again Congrats on the century. It is no small feat
