I considered "The Great Harding 100" but it wasn't quite over the top enough for me. ;)
I was hoping that I wasn't going to have to pull out my Ace but.....Harding, you are doing the Gravel Grinder naked buddy. Your wish came true. Sorry Duke, had to do it.

Fine but I'm riding on your handbars!
I better kill some 24 ozer PBR's before the ride.
What do you think about doing some grilling after the ride?
Grilling would be fun. Is it some place where we can Carbo Load with some PBR also ?

I drove the second half of this ride today. This is not going to be a user friendly ride, more like a leg breaker so be prepared for climb after climb (app. 5,000ft). There are some super fast downhills that are going to be a blast, I am guessing 30mph easy.
I will probably get out on the bike and ride this sometime in May or June to give the route any final tweaks, I will get a rough map up sometime this weekend.
