kevin, been busy revamping my website, promise to get a ride review up soon.
In short, I decided to do the 46mi course, whch actually was almost 49mi. Winds kicked up more than expected, but it was an absolutely PERFECT day to ride. The first about 6mi sucked. Into the wind, on some of the worse chipseal I've ever dealt with, through a series of pretty decent hills. Pretty much shattered the pack of riders right from the get go. After that the road got a lot better, and much more enjoyable. I'll update later with pictures.
