Notes
Day 2 started off well, but at about mile 45 I started to have trouble with my left knee when i'd be up out of the saddle pushing hard. Seeing as i was much more tired, I was out of the saddle a lot more and it started to hurt more and more. When I arrived at the lunch stop at mile 60, I made the decision to throw in the towel to not risk injury...especially considering the amount of rain that was coming down at that point. 166 miles for 2 days, I'm very proud. Plus I raised $1,025 for HIV vaccine research.
I'll probably do the ride again next year, with the goal of finishing.
