Great site. I rode the 2 person relay in 2008 and actually "enjoyed" the event. My team-mate suffered the most riding the 1st leg and sitting out 8 hours of riding in a car during the storm Friday night and Saturday AM. I wore a Polar 720i HR monitor that yielded some interesting data: Distance rode - 215 miles, ride time 12:57, off the bike time 34 minutes, avg. speed 16.6mph, max. speed 24.3mph, accent from Gettysburg and MN border 1800ft., calories burned 9150, starting temp. 67, ending temp 57, avg. HR 120, max. HR 141. I consumed 10 gu's, 6 PB&J sandwiches, 2 hotess apple pies, 12 bottles of mostly coke. I've already signed up to do the solo event in 2008 but the toughest thing is finding a support crew. My wife was all I had in 2007 and she's not exactly excited about doubling the effort.
