alright FermiLab 24.5 mi
Rode very hard... good workout, kept pace/speed high. Decent cadence, was struggling to keep it at high end though. (more mash than spin). Right knee is quite sore after and next day...

good RAGBRAI Day 7 51.5 mi
Great last day! Lots of hills, including Potter's Hill which at 19% grade (at max) might have been the most difficult thing I've ever done on a bicycle
-
Wow 19% is insane. How long of a climb was it?

Dan -- I was on RAGBRAI and I had heard second hand that the grade was 10% at the steepest part -- but I agree with you, it felt like 19 (20%). I can almost always get up any mountain, but Potter's hill had me breathing hard at a HR of 184 -- which is unusual for me. But it was a great ride.

I was riding with two people with GPS... one read 14% the other read 20% at max. It was advertised (and reported by the Register) as 19%... so I went with that. If you told me it was 10 or 12, I wouldn't be surprised. Either way... it was steep for a fat guy from Chicago! :)

RAGBRAI - Day 6 68.5 mi
Hard ride today. Lots of rain, and wind (the bad kind), and hills. Maybe toughest day of the week. Biking in the rain is just not fun. Glad it's over.
