My first double century was awesome but hurt so much.  A great way to break into a double.  Only 5k of climbing and beautiful scenery.  Highly recommend the ride.

Congrats - and in under 12 hours. That's great!

Didn't you want to set yourself in fire at mile 140 or so? The agony memory has faded enough I'm thinking if doing it again in 2015.

Nice job man.

I started going delusional around 180'but I think it was more from the heat and lack of ability to eat enough because of said heat.  Girlfriend brought us BBQ pork and chicken sammichs around 140 and that made a huge difference.  

Definitely going to do the ride again.

Crosby/Darren - I would definitely do this again and 2015 may be doable. Let's discuss further...

Interested as well. I would have done it this year were it not for a conflicting family event.

This a great ride, that I highly recommend. Great ride Darrin -- first double!

Those of us with chip timing results: http://www.turboreg.net/Share/197/3B42D5C8A3694EE6920962BA9337CBCC

The first group started at 4:45 am and there were many guys and a few gals who were quick from the start. About 25 of us made it to the big climb (about 1k') where I lost contact with the leaders. After the 50 mile rest stop, I rode with 2 guys on tri-bikes and we got to the 100 miles rest stop in 4 hours, 35 minutes: @ 9:20 am. Here a quick refueling put me back with the lead group of now 10. We cruised the next 50 miles at close to 22 mph. Over the Longview bridge, 3 guys rode away never to be see again. Now I was with a group of 4. During this last 50 miles -- especially around mile 180 -- I was delusional. My time was 10 hours, 13 minutes. 

hope to see you on the road, next week, not this week.
