He had the bad luck of getting cramps at the very end - just when he had the 16 hour time wrapped up. I yell at David to draft me, but I'm going too fast now and don't want to slow down. Going down the hill I shift onto the big chain ring. Its getting dark. I don't want to stop to change from sunglasses to goggles as there is a chance of making a 16 hour time.
Speeds are now fast and effortless.
The end is the best part. I get a wonderful massage prior to going to bed. The awards banquet is nice, there's an award for being the fastest recumbent to finish. Since I'm the only one to do the ride in a recumbent that's pretty easy. We get to see Gene and Susan again, they finished the ride as well, and then had pizza afterwards.
