Yes, it was Susan G Komen. There were a lot of rest stops but generally our ride time is around 7 hours at best, so you're doing great!

Yeah I heard it was a super hilly ride. My friend did the Komen yesterday as well.

The guy I was ridding with yesterday was training for an Ironman so the goal was to stop only if we had to. Trust me, i would have liked to have stopped more often myself lol Trying to scarf down gels and Bonk bars while riding and trying to breath at the same time sucks.

My helmet off to you! 5.5 hours is very impressive. Congratulations!

Wow! That time is incredible! Weren't you asking about racing in your intro thread? (I thought I remembered that you used to race motorcycles? Or is that someone else?) Go for it! Congratulations!

Way to go!

Thanks. Yeah, I have been playing around with the idea of maybe racing.

Wait; I just read in another thread that you're approaching your first winter cycling season. Does that mean you just started riding this year? And you did a century in 5.5 hours? That's utterly fantastic and, yes, if you're interested in racing, you should. Wow!

We were advised to eat the GU they handed our before the last hill. EEWww! It was all I could do to keep it down! It was a super hilly ride. I was quite surprised!
