So I rode in (and completed!) my first Tour 2 days ago. I did the 50k Moderate route, and I finished all 32.1 miles in just under 3 hours...2 hours and 58 minutes to be exact. My total time was 3 hours and 40 minutes. Since it was just a Tour, not a race, there were a lot of places to stop, rehydrate and refuel.
The Moderate was pretty hard. It had rolling hills from the beginning to the end; now I know what people mean when they say uphill both ways. However, crossing the finish line, and not being last, was such an accomplishment for me. I can not tell you how I felt. Its just an amazing feeling.
I registered again for next year. Maybe I can cut at least 30 minutes off both my riding and total time.
