taken 08/12/2006

* Elevation gain - 12,892 feet
* Miles ridden - 106.01
* Ave speed - 13.2

Second worse day on the bike next to ‘05 Livestrong. Note to self: If you ride 12,5K ft on one Saturday, go ahead and recover more than a week before attempting 12.9K. That was over the top, relentless, horrible, too many, no fun hills that had to have been 12-15% sustained climbing all day long. Put it on your list, do it, cross it off and never do it again. Brutal.

I’m sure Fishmel had a ball though. He’ll probably do it again tomorrow. I kept up with him for five miles. That’s five miles, folks. Talk about relentless. I don’t know where he gets all that power from those skinny legs :)

Edit: Posted the map and cue sheet.
