My friend, Ron Lew, and I tackled the second half of the Terrible Two course as an unsupported ride (well, almost) on June 7th, three weeks ahead of the event. We enjoyed great temperatures (80s), better pavement than we expected, and had a most enjoyable ride (143 miles, 9,500 feet of elevation gain). At the finish, we were sobered by the thought that the "full" ride would be 60 miles longer, with almost 7,000 feet more climbing . . .
