In Cleburne, TX. 70 miles. Rolling hills.

About 20 miles from finish, after a pull, felt twitch in my quad. I spent the rest of the ride trying to prevent cramping. SLowed me down considerably.

I know the ups and downs for you guys would be nothing. But I mainly ride on flat courses. Plus I've hardly ridden this year.

I ended up doing it in about 4 hours even. Maybe slightly worse than last year, but I was riding more last year.

I sped up a tad at the finish, going to 23mph. As soon as I stopped and put a foot down to try and get off my bike, both quads cramped. Took me 2 minutes to get off my bike.

But overall a great ride.
