Bryan_UCSD and I are doing this ride, anyone else game?

This is a fun ride w/one big climb right at the begining and plenty of stops along the route to fuel up.

It depends on the ass I suppose.
Sometimes Id prefer that it go numb and it doesn't.
Then I stretch and that makes it better.

Epic riding in Flagstaff.

Plus I can't get comfortable for long rides on my road bike. Switched the stem and 3 bars, but hands still go numb after 1 hr.

If you've reached the end of horiz adjustabilty on the stem angle/length and bar config you may need a shorter top tube or sloped frame style to get your weight back.

Sorry for the detour. Back to yer RSP.

Being sand blasted by cross winds as we rode along the beach wasn't great either! Minus the wind, it was a great ride. Best I have ever felt during a century, can't wait until the Tour de Tucson next month!
