The Lure route does have more diverse terrain and scenery than the AoTC. Both are nice but the Lure route is a more difficult route by the numbers.
I had 13% two or three times, and 14% a couple. It was momentary but it was there.
The cold enchiladas were a bit of a letdown given the past year's spaghetti and various homemade sauces. But I understand they wanted to change some and offer variety. At least the enchiladas were homemade and were Ok, just cold. The deserts were the same as last year, and just as good. The soft drinks hit the spot after drinking water and Gatorade/sport drink all day. And the Y provides post ride showers.
