It was a little windier than we had planned on and the direction sucked. We had a stiff headwind and crosswinds on all but a 10 mile stretch. We ended up at 65 miles in 4 hrs 45 mins. I'll take it, I was cussing the last 15 miles of the ride but felt great when it was all said and done. No doubt I'll be able to make it through the 3 tours I've been roped in to this summer now!

It's an awesome feeling to finish 65 miles after my 5 mile initiation just 2 months ago.
