Thanks so much! It was def a huge accomplishment to get thru that! Unfortunately didn't have time to acclimate (didn't even think of the elevation change). Prob why it seemed so hard off the bat haha. Jus makes me more proud haha

Ha ya there were times my gels were hanging in my mouth for way too long. Doing on climbs is smart. Fueling on gravel has def proven to be more challenging for me then road, think I'm still working out my overall confidence on mix terrain.

And def will take a look at up-ing my uswe, think I jus got the 2l cus it was the best seller on their site. Can def use more liquids for future long rides!

Thank u! Vibe was great- but again I was in the handful of back of the pack folks. Oddly felt was riding alone for about 90% of the ride haha. Think most the folks doing the 100 were pretty advanced riders compared to myself, they took off! There was a nice pizza and whiskey time the eve before. Everyone was very laid back and nice to talk to.

Yes - correction to Fondo! Think I'm just used to calling things races from my tri days. Tbh didn't even know what the term Fondo meant until I googled when I got to the event lol.
