It was super fun. I've never done a 2 day event like this, because having a kid makes that tough - especially when my husband also wants to ride. But we did it and it was great.

I had heard some bad reports about the support from last year, but they apparently turned things around as the ride was VERY well supported. The course was good - lots of roads I have ridden on over and over, but still fun. There are the usual complaints you can register in any mass ride about crowds and riders who do stupid things in groups, but overall rider behavior was pretty good.

I haven't been riding much this year, so I originally planned to do the 75 1st day, 75 2nd day but at a rest stop the first day, a teammate I haven't ridden with in a while asked me to do the century with him, so we did. I am glad I did the full 175.

Best of all, I got to ride much of the first day and all of the second with my 2 MS honorees, SK and our team captain (who pulled in 76 team members for the best ever showing for a "rookie", non-corporate W2W team!)! AND... the AV rest stop in Sausalito was TOP NOTCH!!!
