Final words of advice don't go out too fast, seriously, the first couple of miles are a bit of a roller coaster, just get into your stride and stay there, the long hill isn't that bad and remember there is a photographer at the top so smile. Just roll down the back of the hill and enjoy the scenery, once you go over the last hill and are back in Solvang the finish comes really fast so sprint it in!Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841289199998319545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417535823506217209.post-63300540274205434702008-05-06T10:26:00.000-07:002008-05-06T10:26:00.000-07:00Hey, you've done all the hard work, now go have fu...Hey, <BR/><BR/>you've done all the hard work, now go have fun....we are cheering for you!!Lily on the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275939535831908513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417535823506217209.post-65590526112507049352008-05-06T05:37:00.000-07:002008-05-06T05:37:00.000-07:00Just consider it an unconventional taper.
