Hardest ride of the year, including Sugarloaf mountain at mile 9, twice over a mountain pass near Antietam, a hill so painful it's just called "the wall" and enough rolling hills to last a lifetime on the first hot day of the year. At 81 miles and 4800 feet of climbing, it was the shorter of the two options, with a 93 mile cue sheet available too...
Word is that the ride was much harder than the century on June 6th, looking forward to 100 miles then!

We waited for all the 93 mile riders to finish too. This was close to 7PM, we met at 7AM...
Go TEAM!
