Are you planning on not stopping at _all_?

One can get in and out of aids pretty quick if you don't dally around. Bathroom, top off bottles, grab some food and go.

One thing you can do is carry a ziploc of superfuel and refill with it at a later aid station. I've done that before. I wouldn't carry so much food (that's what the aids are for, ain't they?)

To be honest, not sure I'd tackle a 13K-person, 100*F event with a PR mentality. Especially when a Lone Star at the auto-garage about 10mi outside of town* tastes SO good after 90+ miles in the heat. But that's just me.



Looking at the map, I think it was in Henrietta, and I dunno how often, but the year I rode there was an auto-parts/garage that was welcoming cyclists into the A/C w beer. It was AWESOME, and made the pain of 3 flats go away...
