Halfway Stats and More

We are a bit past the halfway point:
  • 292 miles
  • 20,909 feet of climbing
  • Top Speed : 41mph
  • Avg Speed : 13mph
  • Avg Climbing Speed: 7mph
Things we learned
  • Up = Boo
  • Down = Yeah, then Boo
  • Aquaphor works great
  • The precise locations of "sit bones"
  • Photos do not do the ride justice
  • 65 miles is a good day
  • 85 miles is not
  • Geological Surveys lied....these climbs are greater than 6%
  • Pack less
  • Take your time and enjoy the view
  • 13 miles up hill is a long way -- save your fuel
  • Legs hurt, then go numb, then hurt again.
  • Drafting behind Brian is good
  • Drafting behind Boyd is not
  • Kelly can out-ride us all
