Mammoth Gran Fondo - Next Weekend
So I am doing the Medio 70 mile ride next weekend, and I am just curious, do you know how long you have to finish the course? I did 70 miles today in 5 hours of riding and 6 total (an hour stopped). I am hoping not to be dead last in this.
I am assuming this is on the low end of average, but I have never done a ride like this before. Whats it like out there.

But 3,601 feet of climbing over 70 miles isn't so bad.
Except for that one bump 2/3 in, all of the climbing will be at the end.
