Ok, now that I feel a little better - the gory details. Not pretty.

By my bike computer - riding time for the Albuquerque Century was 7 hrs 23 minutes - average speed was 14.4 mph. The long climb up Tramway Blvd came after about 85 miles - 6.7 miles up. I didn't get an accurate time, but the climb must have taken me more than 1 hour.

Didn't have pie, but, I did have one beer to assist in my recovery - think I'll take a couple of days off.

Thanks for the kind words.

Jim
