I didn't think of taking an Ibuprofen; that probably would have been a good idea.
The food was amazing. At the end there were a few fast riders who talked about going back on the course backwards to hit rest stops before they closed.
Their motto is "if you don't gain weight on this ride you are not doing it right."
It cost all of $25 and you got a t-shirt plus all the food a person could possibly eat and then some.
