The Duluth area was well represented at the Superior Vistas Century in Washburn, WI on Saturday, including Rich and Lauren, Sherry, Rick and Penny, Joe, Wayne, me (Russ) and a couple of Daves. It was my first time at this event and if you set the almost day long rain aside, I can't say enough good things about it. The route includes FS 236 - perhaps one of the nicest stretches of road that I ever been on. Plenty of food at the rest stops and finish, on the spot replacement of a shredded tire, and even law enforcement managing the intersections! I'm in for next year.
I spent most of the day in the company of Wayne, Joe, and Dave and the smooth pace line work helped us get it done in a little over 5 hours. But that pales in comparison to the efforts recorded by Jim (7:31) and Tim (7:48) at the Lutsen 99er event. Shanie's 3:15 in the 39er isn't too shabby either!
Maybe all those early morning miles are paying off?
