But don't let that video fool you. Sure, I get a little teary every time I watch it, and some of it was just like that. But this ride is HARD. You need BIG TIRES (or a big fluffy butt).
There are HILLS, especially on the way back (yeah, Nine Mile Hill is actually more than nine miles). And then there's the hail. Yes, hail. The wet kind.

Despite all that, I'd do this ride again in a heartbeat if Mrs. Doc hadn't threatened me with A Fate Worse Than Death if I did this AND Coppi this year, cuz two weekends in a row..
So, 2020. I'll be back.
