Rwanda 50 Mile Ride - 2018

I missed that one! That's a great shot.

 

@Rumpled

You need a bigger bike.

 

Wheel Size? Frame?
I think the pic shortens things a bit.
Probably.
Wanna be my fitter?
Unfortunately, no budget for a new bike.

 

Maybe just the pic. Frame size looks small.

 

Well, looks like they didn't have much to work with out there...

 

Ha! Thank you again! By far my favorite helmet!

 

Another shot of a couple hooligans.

 

Was that the technical section?

 

It was for the roadies.

 

Best T-Shirt quote of the day:
"Don't be such a roadie"

Classic!

 

The Grand Prize was picked up yesterday...

I would have gone in a little different direction with my selection.

Borrowed from FB.

 

And... Brand new for the 2019 edition of the Rwanda Ride... The 75 mile version with 7000 feet of climbing!

In.

April 27, 2019.

 

Hells yeah! I'll be there on my 26lb Niner! Or maybe something else. Sir what?

 

Oh, bummer. I'll be in Napa doing Tour de Cure charity road ride.

 

We’re introducing an Epic 75 Mile GRIND. For those of you who are still sparky after 50 miles – this route is for YOU. But bring your “A” game – you still need to finish the entire route by our 2:30pm cut-off. All finishers will be awarded a commemorative Rwanda 75 Mile Grind medallion.

*** 75 Mile Route is the 50 Mile Route with 25 Mile Route added at the end ***


Sooooooooo.....sounds like you do the Flat 25 at the end.

 

Gotta have that medallion award.

 

Yes... I'd guess you just drop back into the Arroyo off the paved path near the finish... Most of the route is cake, but climbing Live Oak for a second time at mile 52 will be a lot of "fun"!

 

That's cat perming weekend...

 

This sounds like a challenge, no matter how flat the last 25 miles. After the 50, if i'm pushing the pace as I did this year, I'm already feeling it so the 75 would be something other than a gimme. I like it!! Don't know yet if I'll sign up for that, though.

But the 50 is a shoo-in.
