115 mile ride

Today I went and did the Cherohala Challenge. Which is a 115 mile ride, with 10,000 feet of climbing. A lot of people race it as well. The group started out with probably over 200 riders in it. On the first climb me, Spencer Beamer, and Ron Swope set a hard tempo (over 300 watts avg) and brought the group down to 15 riders. The pace was solid until the last climb which was 15 miles long. The first 3 miles I felt great, It was me Swope, Spencer, and Jon off the front. Then I absolutly hit the wall. I guess the hard week I had this week caught up to me, because I bonked hard. I just cruised in after that...........115 miles......avg 19mph.....170avg watts for 6hrs........3700 calories burnt..........All in all a good training day.
