I'm happy to report Dave, myself and "the honorary, guest KT rider" survived the death ride (mostly) without incident. 120+ miles of riding, 16k feet of climbing, the eating of a combined 20k calories, and the drinking of many a beer was accomplished. The festivities occurred on a sunny 90F Saturday with a nice headwind cooling us on the last climb, which turned into a tailwind on the downhill, propelling (some of) us downhill at speeds approaching the legal limit on a state highway. After about 11hours in the saddle, the ride finished at Turtle Rock, ending in a solo sprint in front of thousands of eager KT fans.
