Even with the tequila hangover I get the distinct impression Chris was having a fairly leisurely day. He had no problems catching me, and even stopped to move a small boulder off the road and then caught me again only to softpedal next to me for a while and relax. Inspires me a bit to continue trying to improve.

I'm gonna start doing GMR/GRR once a month I think. I really enjoyed the climbing and it's hard to get any real climbing in down in OC. Lots of shorter climbs down here, but nothing as sustained as GMR.
