ragnorak 115

race length was 107...i rode 115. too much effort spent catching up after the bonus miles, regrouped with Ray and Ryan, caught Eki...had a pack of four going into check point 1. leave the check point, 4 becomes 15. took pulls in the wind trying to shake the loose baggage...turns out i was the loose baggage. saw lary on the horizon, lost Larry. blew up and sat on the side of the minimum maintenance road cried a bit, drank some water, ate some food...caught up with Jared? or was it Jeramey? i really cant remember, hes good friends with Robert Frost and Mike Johnson of whom i did my first gravel adventure light-less with at the night nonsense. started to feel better and rode through check point 2, had good conversation. heaths hill....F'uh! Skogen and company up top. gave em the double bird and almost lost it...coke..split ways with Jay finished strong at a hair over 7 hours. need to ride smarter, more consistent speed and less idiotic bursts chasing...oh well the royal looks doable..oh and yea the car died on the side of 77 on the way back home. double F'uh!
