OMG - I was thinking (at midnight) what a wonderfully civilized ride the Mt. H Challenge is!! I did it 2 years ago with my friend David - it was both of our first real 200ks. I saw David at their rest stop 2/3 of the way to the junction yesterday. At that point, I was ahead of where I estimated I would be time-wise - and he was behind where I thought he would be. I never expected to see him, and it was a real treat!

That is a fun ride! Although I am not wild about descending that side of Hamilton. Beats climbing it, though.

But I can't ride it next year anyway as I've committed to doing ride support for DMD.
