Quick StatsCool fall morning! Sun didn't come out in earnest until well after half way. And it was still fairly cool even then. Didn't really warm up until the last 25 miles.
Distance: 103.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 2,195 feet
Average Moving Speed: 16.2 mph
A very nice ride. Great roads, low traffic. Lots of dead skunks though... weird.
Well supported, with lots of food at the 3 rest stops.
The one negative was the elevation gain. Both the ride web site and trimble outdoors say the route has 2,200 feet of elevation gain. Seemed like much more than that! The first 50 miles or so were very flat. But the third quarter of the ride was extremely hilly. Maybe it just seems like more than it was due to a slight headwind for much of the ride. That combined with riding 50 miles before doing the hills probably made the hills seem harder than normal.
All in all a very nice ride. Definitely on the "do again" list.
