Well that was a fun ride. We did the 49 mile option and just took it pretty easy. We managed to finish before it got too scorching hot. Some of those cookies at the break points were to die for. Overall a good ride with good volunteers and great food (although the turkey in the BBQ lunch was kind of meh). I loved the "Wrong Way" signs at most of the turns on the route. Hard to miss a turn if there is a big sign telling you that if you go the wrong direction.
