This sounds amazing! I doubt I could pencil it into my schedule though.

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
I am interested, pending how my schedule sakes out.
I talked to Bruce today at Healthy Habits, he says there gonna offer 2 races..a 60miler and a 120miler.
In the wise words of Neips

My wife is coming up from Bama that weekend to drive my truck and "chase"....I'm not in this to win it (70miler), I'm in it to finish and raise money for a Fallen Soldier Scholarship fund, if your not hell bent on winning this and just wanna ride it with me then let me know, there is always room in my truck for a passanger to keep her company and support us with what ever me may need during the ride.

Thought they said no chase cars, just places to set out bottles?
Rode thw first 40miles today. BRUTAL....the first 10 miles give you a false sense of this ia gonna be cake.....and then you get woke up with some decent climbs. Once I hit the 18mile mark the rain and 20mph winds made it soooooo much fun....NOT!!!

I actually love riding in the rain. Too bad I won't be doing this, it sounds like fun.
Rode another 36 miles of this route last night. There are some serious climbs, it will be no picnic for sure. Also worth mentioning they have recently graded some of the roads so the gravel is looooooose in some areas. Anyone else doing it?

I've never used Strava, I've been using MapMyRide for about 6 months now and I think it's pretty good. I've had no issues using it battry wise for up to 6 hrs so far...as long as I don't constantly have the map up I think it would go easly 10 hours. (SamsungSIII)

I've only been able to use strava a couple times due to terrible battery life on the I phone 5. I've never tried map my ride
