    CONGRATS!!!
    I was waiting for your ride report and so glad that it came with pictures!!
    I knew that you'd do great. And it looks like you had fun - sore knees and all.

    Oh and my partner has ridden the ride a few years in a row and this is the best he has ever done. 5 hours 17 mins.

    I am very glad to have had someone to ride with. There were very long stretches where we were by our selves.

    Congrats and great pics.

    I think on most rides of that length, unless you are really determined to ride with someone and are well-matched, you end up going at your own speed and get separated.

    This from the official ride photographer. I think we are approaching the lunch stop at around 55 miles.



    I took the bike in today and we lower the seat and moved the saddle a hair forward. Hard to tell just yet if it will make the difference as my knee is still sore but I am optimistic!
