Hell's Gate Hundred- Done!

Wow what an awesome ride.  The Hell's Gate Hundred exceeded my expectations!  100 miles with 8.500 feet of climbing!  Artist Drive was a pleasant surprise.  I didn't know that loop existed and it was very cool.  The Hell's Gate climb that went on and on to Daylight Pass-- 16 miles about 4500 feet of gain-- niiice!!

I'm very happy with my performance.  I had a couple of issues early on but then had a great ride afterwards.

 I'll post more later but I just wanted to drop a quick post.

What's next for the Red Eyed Vireo?

I'm trying to decide if I should do the Hell's Gate Hundred ,an event put on by AdventureCorps, on April 3.  I love doing their events because:

1. they are in Death Valley and
2. they are professionally run from the race director to the volunteers.

What's holding me back?  Well I'm already doing the Mount Laguna Bicycle Classic on April 17th (my pre-ride here) and I'm supposed to work weekends- or at least one of the two days.

Here is the graph looks challenging and fast.  I'm 100% in but what will work say?  Stay tuned....
