I had a wonderful time this year. Rode the full 100 at 20 mph with Team Slipstream on Saturday. I'm not a member, just a local knucklehead who pulled my share. Felt good at the route split and figured why not? Came back and rode another 75 on Sunday but the only object that day was to time the ride up and down Blacksmith Fork Canyon with a headwind in only ONE direction. You can set your watch by that canyon. If you spend more than 5-10 minutes at the top, the wind will turn before you get back down. It REALLY sucks to turn around and find the headwind all over again.

It's too bad my GF waited until after the MS ride to break up with me. I had the opportunity to pick up several phone numbers and/or emails this year. Those damn scruples get me every time.
