That was a great ride! I didn't think the hammers would come out so early, I was way overdressed to try to hold that pace for long. I ended up with my base layer frozen solid by the end.
Don't know what I was thinking bringing the gears, first water crossing I was SS in a 34X28 for I don't know how long then the derail cogs started freezing. At one point Fred says, Dude, somethings wrong with your chain. Stoppted to check it out, turns the derailier froze solid and I was dragging the chain on the ground!
It was great to meet some new guys, added bonus seeing Sean again, who brought some totaly rocking oatmeal cookies.
With my record on TGH rides, I hit only the even numbered ones, we'll see if I can do something about that, gears will be left home.
