Very cool! It's been 16 days since my JDRF Ride to Cure ride in DV. Because of excessive heat (for mid-Oct.) they changed the route so that people could do it out-and-back twice for a century. I ended up doing 72 miles, since I wasn't quite sure how my body would tolerate the increasing heat and since they removed the Jubilee Pass option from the course there was no longer that bucket list incentive (I'd already hit my 3 goal centuries for the year, too). We hope to be back to DV for the same ride in 2 years (next year our team plans to ride in Tahoe).

I would love to ride DV in the dark. We had a full or almost full moon while we were there. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing it would be to ride in the dark like that.

Where did you guys stay for this...Furnace Creek Ranch? I love that place. We spent a lot of time in that amazing bathwater-warm pool while there. It's officially on my list of favorite places.
