102 miles with 4000 ft of climbing. It's official. I'm slow. 6 hrs 6 mins for a 16.6 mph avg. I think it's the slowest time I've ever had doing that route. I had nothing for the inclines.

Stopped once at the 67 mile mark. 2 fig newtons, a small bag of Salt and Vinegar chips and and a little over 2 bottles of fluid got me through.


1 down and 3 to go......doing these with a group every Saturday in December......it's an annual thing.
