oh sure.... wish the broken bones on us! i'm sticking with the easier dirt roads for now! less of a chance to get hurt! i would be sooooooooooo devastated if i couldn't work out or couldn't ride! i mean... i took up road riding cuz i hurt my toe and couldn't do aeeobics for a few days.. but i NEVER gave up on the weights! i hobbled around to do them!

this was my second double metric.... we did the double metric of the grand tour a couple months ago... that was a GORGEOUS ride.... i think if i have to pick.. i liked the grand tour DM better only cuz there was more coastal riding! simply gorgeous! but this one has more rest stops.. i always like the rest stops!

they are both long days when you factor in the drive to get there and the drive to get home..... but the scenery and support make them worth it!
