This was not an organized ride, just a group from the shop. 2 planned deli stops, 2 gel stops and 2 mechanicals (both me). I found the only piece of metal on the road the size of a flea to penetrate a brand new tire at mile 18 and at mile 90 had the sidewall sliced enough to blow the same tire. The dollar bill in the tire trick got it home. I'm getting very good at changing tubes.

We are a no drop group and everyone hung in to the end. The next event ride for our group is the Mile High ride, total climbing will be 5,280 feet in a much shorter distance.
