he's used to long days in the saddle. What he's not used to is the intensity of the climbs! Apparently the road grades there are steeper and longer than ours (which i still find hard to believe, but he insists!!)
He's used to hills too, but even Ramrod (ride around mt Rainier in one Day) is not as intense as Death Ride..

So those of you who did this ride, i have to say I am amazed and you should be very proud of yourselves...
