Good report. See...I feel like I've been on that ride with ya and I didn't even make it!
Hope Arch is ok....ouch....sounds painful. Can't wait to here his recount of how he got tangled on the turn.
My sympathy ride this weekend in Idaho in prep for the Sawtooth Century: Saturday- 50 miles to Buhl and down into the Snake River Canyon and back.
Sunday - 30 miles down into the Snake River Canyon (Twin Falls-

Good rides. Ulcer for me- next year. Pride - an average of 18.9 mph is great! Good job.
