Hey there Aggie_Ama,

I was there and I kept my eyes out for aggie jerseys all day. I didn't see your post before the ride, but I was still looking.

I thought that the last 10 miles were the worst! The hills seemed longer than the others and the wind, omg, I didn't think it could get any stronger...but it did!

I pulled in around 3 pm. It was a long ride. I was riding with friends and I would get ahead and pull off to the side of the road and wait for them...perhaps you rode by me at some point.

I kept thinking (especially during the last 10 miles) that this is the hardest that I've ever worked for a beer. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to enjoy one at the finish. I got there, found my bag, loaded my bike and got on the little mini bus as I was in a rush to get back to Austin for a 6:30 JDRF event.

What a day! Oh, one more thing...didn't you LOVE the mist and lack of sunshine? And the flowers! I love flowers.

Karri- I finished at 2:33, so we may have seen each other. I was wearing a mint green sleeveless PI jersey, but then again so were at 2 other women I saw.

I had my AV Buff on headband style, too bad it didn't stand out. Right now I am writing a full adventure (suffer?) report, I really want to reflect on how accomplished I felt!

As for the part- I rode in my granny gear a good portion of the way and felt like I was riding hard! Until we unloaded our bikes in Austin, I never realized I was in that easy of a gear.
