Actually, I know you to be a cautious, safety-minded rider, so I'm sure that you'll ride the 4 miles home in a way that hopefully won't get you into any hypothermal trouble...I'd be hydrating pretty continuously enroute too, eh?

Also, I thought of Raleighdon and Salsa's DH also re: RAMROD - ugh! Usually riders start out @ 4:30 AM anyway, so I hope that it helps a bit to get out there even earlier. The worrisome part is that the 9 mile climb up Cayuse doesn't happen until after the riders have completed a hilly century AND in the heat of the afternoon - ugh again! I was glad to hear via Raleighdone/you that RCC is planning more water stops as I felt that was an egregious omission when I met 2 riders at the finish a few years ago and that's almost the first thing they both mentioned - not enough water stops!

Best wishes to all RAMROD riders (and PDX triathletes!) for a safe, successful event!
