Glad you figured it out now rather than on the MS150. We had a good ride. I did the long route and enjoyed it a lot. Wished we had more wildflowers blooming, but they will be around in another week or two. New Ulm should be a great ride for flowers. My wife did her first ride on the road since late January and did a hybrid of the long and short that ended up being about 55 miles. I met her at the 3rd breakpoint and rode along from there with her. She had a flat right as we were leaving BP4, so I got to sit in the grass and change her tube just past the finish line for the race that was going through out there. On the way back home, we took the bikes in for our inspections, and hers failed due to cracks starting to form in her rear rim adjacent to the spoke holes. I knew her wheels were getting ready to be done anyway and was planning to swap her cassette over to the set of wheels I had on my old bike. So I guess I just get to do that a couple of weeks before I originally planned to do it. She hasn't decided if she is going to ride the MS150 this year or not yet...she is signed up, but may end up volunteering depending on how she feels next week. I was impressed that she gutted it out for the 55 miles and still finished with an average pretty close to what she rode last year despite hardly riding outdoors at all so far this year.
