The route was slightly too long for me last year like Badger, I'd had enough long before the finish. But with a bike that has higher than standard SV gearing it proved to be pretty tedious and frustrating to say the least. Lucky for me Pmapp and Badger were very patient and guided me when I'd had enough.

The only thing that peed me off, was although an absolutely beautiful view above whichever lake it was....mountain climbing off road wasn't fun!!

Now had have had the right SV working, as I found out last summer on Rictus;s epic ride.....I'd have had as much fun as you guys, in the parts where I'd hated it on the other bike.
