Daylight Pass road started hard and just stayed the same for almost the entire 16 miles. I had never gone past the checkpoint at Hell's Gate and that was on the northern route double that only climbs the 7 mile climb. <br /><br />Don't be too hard on yourself this ride is tough and especially for newer riders. Congrats on your one year anny!!! Keep riding and you will get stronger. <br /><br />I'll post a report soon.

Reminded me very much of Furnace Creek 2009 -- yeah they were that bad.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227627205723087825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199089011138395175.post-52016756556540533572010-04-04T13:54:10.729-07:002010-04-04T13:54:10.729-07:00You kicked ass george!

I underestimated that ride for sure, but I feel satisfied with my performance. Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary of riding a bike, so I don't know that I could have expected more. Looking forward to the report.Marcushttp://www.rideandruckus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199089011138395175.post-74169026539428338382010-04-04T08:30:14.080-07:002010-04-04T08:30:14.080-07:00You're going to miss a great ride today.
