Did this ride (double metric) last year and was one of my favorite rides of 2013. Highly recommended if you're not racing Purgatory and have the day to spend with friends on 2 wheels. Oh and the 'the snacks' part of Lynn's email is underrated. Each aid station was overstocked with refreshing beverages, tasty treats and super friendly volunteers!
