Before the start I set a rough bogey of under 7 hours, and I made it with about 10 seconds to spare riding solo the entire way. Now I have a mark to try to beat next year.
Awesome course - already looking forward to next year!

I noticed there were about 25 people from 2 different clubs with jerseys from St. Louis. That's a pretty long drive. Glad you thought it was worth the trip from Missouri.
