All done and I completed the 50 miles in approx 6 hours including breaks. The wind as usual was in our faces in BOTH directions. Get this...at the last 15 miles or so I pulled up to eat and drink just to make sure I didn't bonk. I checked the bike and all was good. I really struggled those last few miles. When I got to the finish I found that my front tire was flat! Who knows how far I pushed that plow.
Thank you to those who helped me raise $1200 for research.
