Did my first ride organized ride event. Finished the 62 miles and lived to tell the tale. About 15 mi out I heard what must have been the 2nd spoke brake and of course it happened on a climb. Started to push my bike and the back wheel would lock up. Had to remove my back brake and tire still tire rubbed the frame. There were way more hills than I anticipated and had I drove the route I would have freaked out and not have done the race or only have done the 50mi.

Had cramps when I got home. Legs aren't sore from the ride but rather from the cramps I got later.

Actually I want to do one of the Racers and Chasers events and then get ready for a Century. Either that or gets some friends together to do the 12 hours of Temecula.
