25 miles: Corinne and Bill Pivar, John McCarthy, Rick Klock, Linda Bennett. Despite the wind coming up precisely at 10 A.M.and some sand here and there, great finish to a great event.
Fred Weaver--with the last minute route changes the 56 mile turned out to be 60.73 miles for me. I hate the wind!!!
Jerry Chatow--After 40 grueling wind and sandblasted miles the 55 milers gave up. Actually it would have been a 62 mile ride. They miscalculated a little.
Phil Cohen--The first part of 55 miles which ended up 62.93 with ride to start and back to car. The first part was congested on the road and the headwind and side winds were tough...headwinds build character!!!.
Brian Farris--completed the entire 62 miles of the extended 55 mile ride, wind and all!
The last 6 miles was hairy as the 10, 25, 56 and 100 converged together and the last 3 miles the 5 milers were among the group. Sunday I am walking the half marathon in Palm Springs.It is easier on foot when there are headwinds. Congratulations to all.
Bettsie Hewitt
Joe Redmond, Bruce Nelson and Carl Winans--finished the 55 (62) miles
Ken Battle--I tried but did not finish the 56/62 mi. I completed about two thirds of the route ...about 45 of the toughest part thru all those hills. The wind is my enemy
Carl, Ted, Bob K, Brian, Bob W, Arnie & Joe
Les Hewitt and Shelby Wright rode 67 miles, Rod Murphy rode 91 miles.
