Damn, 1st go at the D2R2 starting off with the 180k. Very nice. I finally felt strong enough for the 160k a week before D2R2 then half the people at work came down with a cold and it got me too. So opted for the relaxing Green River ride at just under 50 miles long with very little in terms of climbing. Hopefully, next year I'll be able to actually ride in the 160k. Nice write up.
