Way to go Susan!
I finished #249 at 9:38. My total time in the saddle was 8:35. I didn't stay long at the rest stops, lunch was probably the longest so I could scarf down a turkey sandwich 
I got rained on about mile 125 - 135. It was actually a welcome relief considering how soupy it was out there. I don't know if you saw me out on the road, but I was the woman in the Google jersey
I was able to hang onto the front group about 20 miles before getting dropped at 30mph. I was like you all are nuts. I averaged about 18.5mph over the whole ride. It was a great ride.
