Their original track data was wrong.....I'd have done way more hill prep if I'd had the right data. Wasn't sure I was going to pull this one off or not. Their track only showed 50' of rise total for the entire route.....so I've been doing mostly flat rides. I found some new muscles today. Very nice.

I went for a ride this morning... and I'm paying for it dearly right now... :/ I'm paying for it when I do a 33 mile ride with almost no elevation. I couldn't imagine doing 66. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

There was a very loud *crack*, then a BOOM!!!!, then suddenly everything went blindingly white in front of me as the roof of the Vons building was hit. My name is Lonnie, but I answer to Thomas too.

I couldn't imagine doing 66. My longest before this was a 60 miler. I've only gone over 50 three times including today. This ride also had substantially more climbing at the beginning as well, plus we were riding into a headwind for quite a bit of it as well, including the steepest climb.

I saw that, 14 miles of total torture and then a nice 39 mile downhill. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Jill-of-all-Trades far from having everything figured out!  More info | Sep 10, 2011 17:59 | #9703 thomascanty wrote in post #13081546 While some of us on the west coast are now getting flooded. Holy mother of... I've never seen it rain like this before! And, I can now say I've been close enough to a lightning bolt to hear the thunder from it *before* I saw the streak of light... Been there a few times. I typically feel the charge first, hear the boom, and then the blinding light. It's scary to think about how close I've been to lightning strikes Melody

Miles 23-40 actually really sucked, there are some steep climbs in there, and lots of big rolling hills... The climb right around mile 32 really sucks.

I had that happen standing outside my work in Texas but it was a lot closer. A light pole got hit. We were maybe 20 feet away from it. No warning, no feeling the static buildup, just flash/boom all together. I guess it was like FLOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!! Not sure why, but call me JJ.
