Sounds harrowing and none-too-fun. You're both inspiring. Next year, the weather has to be better.
Does anyone remember if this is the ride that Nanci did a few years ago where the jersey had a decidedly phallic theme?

I know that I met Nanci on 6-Gap - another ride with epic rain, about 3 years ago. Don't remember the phallic jersey.

Ack! Marcie, you rock! We were talking about that ride on Saturday, I think a couple of people from their group had gone. Don't know how far they got, but wow. You've got more nerve than me for sure!

yay!!!! you are so wonderful!!!
I am so proud of you guys for even attempting that ride. FYI, I grew up in Chattanooga on Signal Mountain... I can't believe that there is a ride that goes up all three of them! I was doing the MS 150 here in Dallas which was pouring also, they even cleared the course. My Dad called mem letting me know that there was a ride..... There is no shoulders on most of the roads down there (which is why I wasn't allowed to ride my bike much as a kid)...
anyways... enough rambling... know that I'm SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!
