Girl, this was just what I needed to read! Thank you for a great race report! This year was supposed to be 'my year' and well...it was the year of tendonitis, starting a divorce and the stomach flu that wouldn't leave. Not to mention adjusting to the New England terrain. I felt like hanging it all up this month, but several things, including reading a report that sums up hard work=results really helped!

Hopefully I can figure out how the whole Root 66 series and ride next year. Anyone that wants to give me some pointers, PM me
