Made It

We made it. No accidents (for us at least) and no injuries (to us at least). It took us just under three and a quarter hours (the exact time is hard to say since the start is a bit nebulous). Our ride was pretty hard, but fun. Riding up to Rosarito in the shuttle the morning of the race is a bit daunting. You are in the shuttle for over an hour, seeing parts of the course, seeing the hills you will be climbing, all the while thinking, 'I have to ride all this way on my BIKE!' But once you get going it went much quicker than I thought. Actually the first twenty miles really flew by.

More stories to come, but I wanted to publicly thank and congratulate Bob, he did really well on the ride, and was a lot of fun to be with in Ensenada. When we got to the finish line we were looking around, but didn't see anyone older than him. It was very impressive. Nice job, Bob. Way to go.

Remember the guy who gave us tootsie rolls to throw to the kids along the route. He said it would be good carma, and we wouldn't get montazuma's revenge. NOT !!!!!
