Congrats! I have done just the circle (not the out and back for the century), it is brutal! I don't do well with altitude but still that is a tough one.

Did the cyclist crash going down Paso Flecha? When we were there this summer they said they have a lot of crashes on those switchbacks. The bike shop owner tried to blame Texans for not being able to descend but I had no problem with that descent so I think he was just biased.
