I'm starting to not like my odds on being able to complete my own ride. Last weekend once again included a DNF. How can it be that on this ride if something is wrong it finds a way to completely fail during one 6hr ride.
This Saturday Swain, Joe Kukola, and myself set out on the Breezer True Hilly Hundred. Everything was going quite well for the first 50km, but slowly Swain's rear shifter started to give away and got to the point where it would just continually jump all around anytime he would put pressure on it such as on a climb. He continued on for a while and dealt with, but upon arrival on Bear Wallow and thought of the climbs still to come he decided he had enough and couldn't keep going on like that. So once again another failed attmept which makes 3 out of 6. 50%!
Well here we go. This Sunday will be the Mini and the following SATURDAY (October 25th) will be the last Breezer True Hilly Hundred of the year. So get ready and come on out. We will hopefully be able to complete it this time. Make sure your stuff is in good working order. Don't worry though nobody will be left behind.
See you then,
Breeze On
Was able to collect Altimeter data till Bear Wallow: 104km in was 4800ft. That leaves 70km and 6 climbs so it could be well over 6000ft of climbing in this ride.

Hey Jake,
I'm thinking seriously about it (25th) and will try and get a group to roll out of b-ton to meet up with you guys on route. More closer to the time.
