Comments:

longest ride I've done in probably 20 years. Wore Tri-shorts instead of bike shorts... won't make that mistake again.

other than that it was a good, comfortable paced ride. Limited amount of traffic and there was no other pressure to go harder/faster/slower, etc.
As always I had fun and I finished. What more could I ask for?


What would you do differently?:

wear biking shorts, drink more water - take 2nd water bottle with Gatorade or similar electrolyte substance.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched calves a couple time through event and then general body stretching after the event

What limited your ability to perform faster:

endurance training or lack thereof. I'm still a beginning rider so I'll do better as time goes along.

Event comments:

snack stops, lunch, t-shirts, and nice drawn prizes (if you won one)

I'll do it again next year - I might even attempt the longer ride :)
