Great ride. Did the 115k...ish with a friend from Wheelworks where I work part time. We got there late and rolled out about 9am, took it easy and enjoyed the scenery.
Realized pretty quickly that my 36-28 low gear meant that I didn't have much ability to spin so I had to crank up all the hills while I told my legs that all will be okay later
I switchbacked up some of the paved climbs, but had to pretty much grind out some of the other climbs on the back side of the loop like the never-ending grind up the dirt to the Little Big House. Did it from the other side 2 years ago on the 100k and thought it was much easier from that side. Also to throw in Hawk's Road at the very end is just cruel. All in all, it was awesome and the Warbird rode so well, especially rippin on the gravel downhills.

Looking back towards the canyon we just climbed up to get to the last rest stop.
Me about to pass out about 65 miles into it at the last rest stop.
