Congrats! Believe me, headwind more than makes up for a flat ride.
Some of that scenery is butt ugly.
But some is beautiful.

I completely understand what you mean by purgatory! When I did the Death Valley Century the first time, there was a section that felt like the road to nowhere. Time didn't seem to be passing, and the miles didn't seem to be passing. It was simply neverending! Good job for persevering and getting through it. You made it out and now you are stronger than when you went in!

Congrats Azfiddle! You do indeed rock, and it is even better that you finished before dark. Sounds like you had a good time, even if the last few miles weren't so much fun. Hopefully that part will recede in your memory
