It is also my big ride of the year. My brother (who lives in Seattle) and I are doing it in 1 day. We usually go up there during the summer for at least a week so I'm planning the trip around that weekend. My wife is going to pick us up in Portland and take us back to Seattle that night. I want to finish in under15 hours but I'm definitely mounting my lights just in case.
I'm currently thinking about how many Hammer Espresso gels I'm going to down that day...
I should probably just get a 26-serving jug and keep it in one of my bottle holders.
