This was my 3rd time.... did the double last fall..... tough ride.... started cramping on the way up to Scotty's ~ Mile 70...... Finished WAAAYYY after dark...... did the spring 100 on the triplet.... and now the fall 100 on the tandem..... 9 year old stoking on the way up to Scotty's... 6 year old stoking on the way back down......

This go round I really upped my intake of enduralytes..... 6-8 at a pop...... helped enormously..... but I did almost bonk..... (if the thunder don't get ya.... the lightnin' will.....) luckily I was able to forage some carbs....

That's Grapevine in the background......


My smile is fake.....



But Lou Gianni's is real !!!!
