Thanks, but no thanks. I keep a pair of 28mm gators for back up. I really dislike the way they ride.

As of 15 minutes ago, a woman named Nicole Reist is still leading RAAM. I think she's almost 200 miles ahead of second place. Long way to go yet.

Friday, we did a nice little 45 or so miles, a couple k of climbing. Nice.
Saturday. I'll start off by stating I was the weakest climber of my group. But I never put a foot down. I made it up both Stiener Hill and the wall. It wasn't pretty but I did it. I would like to credit the guys I ride with for motivating and waiting for me. Great bunch of guys.
134 miles and 9600 ft. I set 48 achievements and 20 0f those are personal records. The best part...No cramping. It would appear I am doing better with my hydration plan.

I may live to regret that decision. Most of my friends are only doing 100.

Jolanda finished the TT in sixth and the winner of the stage had not been on a TT bike before, from what I heard.

Shopping for bike shorts. Lower tier though. If I'm going back to spandex I should have more than the one ancient pair

Hot one today - we might squeak over 100⁰. Gonna slip out for a short, pre-heat ride.
