8.9.14
I really like this ride...especially with it being a week removed from blazin saddle. There is nothing particularly remarkable about this ride, as the scenery is lacking, etc, but, it is a fast course, and it has some significance as it was my first ride and we have family in Rockwall.
I remember the ride being fairly flat, but, it does have about 1600 feet of climbing over 59 miles. I suspect it feels flat after blazin saddle the week before.
I managed this ride much better than last year, when I bonked at the 50 mile mark. I was diligent about stopping periodically to eat and drink. And, I minimized time at rest stops, as I totalled only 14 minutes of time stopped.
I jumped into a few pacelines on this one, which helped a little, but, rode much of it myself.
I felt really good about this one, as I paced faster than any ride yet and still had plenty left at the end to finish strong.
