great job everyone.
Chris, I think you need to upgrade to the bike you were testing on Hamilton, lower and more aero. Here's a shot of the fit.

You might have problems if you try to flash 6 fingers for 60mph

I put together footage from the Gropro (3:29):

Some highlights:
0:27 getting on 395 with Ygduf and rumbutter
0:57 Ygduf taking our picture
1:17 descent in the rain/hail on Death Valley/Wacuba Road
1:29 drafting rumbutter
2:06 a nice shot of the tandem fork and Marco's feet
3:01 sunny descent on Death Valley/Wacuba Road

I was a little sore the morning after the ride... but nothing too crazy.
However, today i am ridiculously sore after that hike on Monday... I cannot even walk properly.
I guess I shouldn't do much of anything between now and Pescadero RR (Saturday)

After driving through Yosemite, I want to go back. How long did the hike take you?

For us it was (apx.)
3.6 miles up: 2:40
Time at the top: 20 min or so
3.6 miles down: 2:30 (not because we were moving at a higher speed, more so because there was less stopping to eat/drink/take pictures/etc... if anything the down speed was probably slower).
So with hanging out at the top it was around 5.5 hours.

Double century guys need to do longer hikes than that! You need to go up Half Dome, ~18 miles round trip from Curry Village. Going down hurts more for me, usually from bad fitting shoes and blisters.

Yes, here is the official site.
Results for 2009 are up. Marco/Ruth, that is one loooooooong tandem. 30 minutes for the stoker to cross?

At least they had enough class to not list who DNF'd. Some days you have it, and some days you don't ... albeit extremely adverse conditions.

Yeah, 73 DNF. Might have had a little to do with the weather.
