    Snap-You get the award for persisting despite the painful cramps. One that note - I recommend that you get the electrolyte packets at whole foods- instant success! I 've now done 2 centuries using them and they work!!! If you are taking sinsus med, yes you need to hydrate like crazy all the time since that stuff does dehydrate you! I even start drinking fluids on the way to a ride, to make sure I am hydrated enough!

    THANKS TO EVERYONE for the pictures and the narrative. Would love to know what the route was for future hill training rides!

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
