zman..^ the midnight to dawn section was FAST.. we had a slight tailwind so the lead group was ripping at 20+ mph as soon as that split into smaller groups things got manageable. There was 1 checkpoint at mile 60 ish so a little over 3 hrs into it. I felt like I was missing some pretty great scenery but such is the nature of the race. good roads for the most part and not much climb. the total Mileage i accrued was 242mi I missed a turn but quickly got back on course. the race organizer is a friend of mine and he puts on a great event. I'll be back next year to defend my co ss win if they put it on again. id def recommend this event if your looking to push your boundaries either racing or just going for your personal best distance. its got great scenery and a challenging last 1/3 of the course. most of the climbing is in the last 1/3 of the race.
