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.

I drove the second half of

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.
