This is my once a year ride.
I never ride fasted, and I'm certainly not that fast (as seen in blue and indicated on the left but still respectable)
but each year the fast guys shave about 3 hours off my time. (time cross the bottom through hilly country)
Without the advice of the avid cyclist on this board I would never have been able to achieve this level. So thanks everyone. (and thanks for providing the yellow analysis)
Oh, and I normally require 2300 calories to be me, but consume about 6300 on this ride, eating every 15 minutes, surviving mainly on fig newtons).
You cycle guys taught me all this but thought Id pay it forward to the people just getting into this.
