Regardless, congratulations on your first century and I may see you out there on Tour de Tucson one of these years. It's certainly closer than the Hotter-N-Hell (TX) that I rode this year!

Yep. Exactly the area I was talking about. Amazing how the wind broke up the lines. Part of it was that you really don't want to be close to someone when they get blown sideways. The wind also made the speed erratic, which made the pacelines questionable. Then there was the need, of at least one guy, to stop at the side of the road and puke his guts out. I stopped about the same place to... umm... adjust my clothing.
