Wow Toshi, congrats on what seems like a fantastic ride! Well done! The pace and spirit of it sounded so fun. When you wrote “rice bars” I mistakenly pictured freeze dried, mealy mouth cakes, but these are some onigiri type wonders. Can’t wait to try them out. What is the overall elevation gain

1.27.24 Perhaps excepting an invitation to a Century ride was overly optimistic. I haven’t ridden more than 35 miles at once in recent memory - Maybe the proposition should have given me pause, but a foolhardy challenge is just what we need to feel slightly nervous about from time to time.
