The Las Vegas Tour de Fire. This was a double century at Lake Mead, from Boulder Beach to Valley of Fire - a total of 124 miles, 9500' elevation gain, and a windy day. This was a grueling ride that started out with several hundred riders, but only 40 who went the long distance. Since this was an especially challenging course, most riders were teams of young hammer heads, so I wound up riding back alone at the back of the pack. Many of the hills were rolling, but all turned out to be a grind going into a head wind.
I was eight hours in the saddle and averaged 15 mph. I felt good, but was tired at the end.
196 miles for the week and two spinning classes. I am ready for the cross country ride next week!
