Goal accomplished!  I had a GREAT ride.  Mostly all good, a couple of negatives (some hard, cold, windy rain, and a flat in those cruddy conditions.  Oh yeah, and saddle sores for the first time!).  But I felt reasonably strong and upbeat about all the time over the 4 days and 412+ miles. God is good!

Next up: Ironman, September, 2012, during my 50th year.
