Gran Fondo Banff - 2013

An honor to be on the same course with the elite riders. I am certainly not in that league! I wanted to better my time from last year. Unfortunately, leg cramps in both legs at the 60km mark left me deciding whether to quit or try to finish. At the 85km turn around I was ready to throw in the towel. However, realizing that from the turn around to the finish line there are only 2 hills of any consequence, I decided to just slow down, get in a zone, and power through to the end. I did end up walking up part of both of those hills, as the legs refused to peddle. I finished! 'nuff said.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices
