cindysue, I am SOOOOOOOOOO jealous! What a great experience!

Their pro team raced in the 24-hours of Adrenalin last year. They are so fast it's scary! Alison passed me on a mild climb and she just flew up the hill. Within 10 seconds she was a dot! In 30 seconds she was gone! And Marla passed one of my team mates (a guy who is a super strong descender) on a down-hill section like he was standing still.

Good for you for giving it a try! Riding a rented bike with road shoes could not have been easy!
