I am sorry to hear that you weren't able to do the ride. I was really worried about doing this ride since it had more hills and you know, big guy, hills don't work well together. Anyway, this is the best ride I have ever done, and I will definitely do it again next year. My wife wants me to reserve rooms already for this so we can do it next year
I started riding again in October of last year and have been slowly working my way up to riding this far. I have lost some weight and feel much better. My goal next year is do this ride 30lbs lighter than I did this year.
Hope to see you next year!
Ron
