You are so right about...Thanks for the Kudos Robin. You are so right about the need to be totally prepared - including prepared to ride alone to stick to YOUR game plan, and not end up in a DNF because you fear being solo more than failure.<br /><br />Ummm, if you come ride this ride with me next year Steph I will carry your camera too! :D Hope you like the OPP punt. The bike really did look like a pack-horse as it was, so not much room for anything else.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048496041370417301.post-37013671260472845312009-06-19T08:10:10.275-07:002009-06-19T08:10:10.275-07:00I would say the goods outweighted the bads here.

Amazing when you ride your “own” ride and do not get sucked into another pace how you can accomplish your goal. SMART for it! <br /><br />You detail and description of this event made me feel as if I were there riding. Those grades were seriously insane. I have only tackled 14% and felt I was at my max for sure. Love the 6-8% climbs. <br /><br />There are benefits riding with groups but I do think learning how to mentally tackle miles solo are just as important.<br /><br />Truly an amazing event for you!!! Cheers to hammering those mountains and miles.Gotta Run.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647983887882662002noreply@blogger.com
