Yeah and I kind of left out the fact that you're a sadistic little puppy as well. Originally Posted by maillotpois

Well done!
I think I need a rest just from reading about that ride.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

You trained for that in four months? Sheesh.
Anyone writing a training manual by any chance?

Yeah, I was going to say, didn't we climb Mt. Tam 3 or 4 times? Originally Posted by maillotpois

Well done all - and thanks for the excellent SAG support Lee and jobob!!! OK it was only twice. Geeze.
Very nice write up, Jobob. I have to say that the heat was the hard part - it makes my feet hurt intensely, and that's not very inspiring. This is to say that the training has been - phenomenal. I'm amazed and completely impressed by the training I've gotten from MP & TNT. You're right, I didn't notice White's Hill, and the Marshall Wall was quite doable.
And after the heat let up and I wasn't cursing my feet, I actually felt pretty fresh. This was at 95 miles.
So I guess I can do this Death Ride, and I have an awesome group of coaches to thank for that. Coaches, support folks, and a great group of people to ride with.
