It’s also the one I was most looking forward to. The Eighth Stage is the one I was most dreading. But we’re here to talk about Stage Eight. Or you can also go check out Stage Five – the one where I wrecked my bike on the trainer. If you wanna start at the beginning of this Tour, you can go check out Stage One. Adam and I just finished Stage Eight of the Tour of Sufferlandria, and it was terrible. Then we finished it up strong, although the last 8 miles or so were pretty shitty. The Darkness – DELICIOUS! Then we stopped again at about an hour and 20 minutes in for the same reasons. We stopped at the 45 minute mark for short break – to save our taints and refill our water bottles and to drink a delicious smoothie courtesy of Mrs.

The movie ended when we only had about a mile left. We watched “ Bicycle Dreams” to finish the Super Century, and it was really good. Although, it’s never exactly fun, but when we know there are more people suffering out there with us, it makes it a lot better. It was much less fun this year because of that. There was very little back and forth on the interwebz via Twitter and Facebook. As far as I know, it was just the three of us, my brother and teammate Casey in NY, and our friend and Virtusite, Christina. There were far fewer participants this year. For we had to continue on and finish the 4th annual Super Century. The end of the Tour: 3 Virtusans and now 3 Sufferlandrians.īut our day was not over. Here’s a shot of Kate before the big drop. Toward the end of Tower road we began our descent toward the Katy Trail and it was a face melter. I’m gonna blame my sub-par performance on knobby tires, but it would’nt have hurt to be a few dozen pounds lighter.Īnd what’s the deal with all of these plastic bags on the barb-wire fence? Is that to keep horses away or something? But if we had walked inside and seen that, it would’ve been really interesting.įurther down the road we encountered a few more respectable climbs, but you’d never know it by the way Kate flew to the top and waited patiently for my fat ass to catch up. There’s a big “No Tresspassing” sign on it, so we didn’t walk inside and see evidence of fire damage and a pillow on the floor where someone’s been sleeping inside. The road cuts through a fair bit of National Forest area, and highlights some really great landmarks along the way, like the old house in the picture below. *Probable CP location at future non-race*
