This year, we were using a GPS-based cycle computer, so the first few images show some charts of elevation, speed vs. elevation, and a map. The unit's batteries only last 12 hours--enough to get to the 150-mile mark, but not quite enough for our complete 16:25 trip (about 25 minutes faster than last year, a new PR for us!). Did we mention that the ride has more than 19,000 feet of elevation gain? Click here for finishing results from the Quackcyclists web site
