Well, another Death Ride under my saddle, 9 hrs. & 3 min. ride time. A touch better than last year, but better than I expected given this years level of training. Weather was almost perfect, a bit warm from Woodfords to the top of Carson Pass. The usual headwind from the base of Ebbets to Woodfords, though I found a group to make it bearable. Volunteers did the usual fantastic job, and many of us riding who were stopped for supplies at the top of Ebbets Pass agreed that we should have pulled the guy riding the unicycle there off the contraption and beaten him to "Death" right there at the summit. ;-)
