Ditto! It takes audacity and some brass balls to do 82 out of 200k in freezing weather. You have nothing to be ashamed of. If it were me in that weather I would have been a non-starter.
I'll answer those in the recap, but I was holding c'Dude back something fierce almost the whole trip.
On the way back through the VA Hospital between Lansing and Leavenworth I told him to bolt at his own pace without waiting up for me, because I was pretty sure I'd time out before Control #5.
C'dude barely made it to control #5 in time after he broke away, and he's a lot faster than I am.
This was a solid DNF 200k for me. I'll have more tomorrow.
Hey man, there's no shame in that! I am impressed that you rode as much as you did. Way to go!

ReplyDeleteWell at least you enjoyed a good lunch! Did the winds shift for you? How did you get back?
