yeah, that was pretty damn hot! i remember driking several litres of fluid and only going to the bathroom once. the rest=sweat. i did 200km+ on a fixie on one ride last year. the hairshirt is pretty flat; i can't imagine it's that much more of an effort than on a gearie.
so you did the ride last year? were you one of the fast group? i was solo for most of it, coming in just after dark.
