RAWROD, the Ride Around the White Rim in One Day, is an incredible 100 mile ride in Canyonlands, Moab. Fast Friday is a self supported time trial (I treat it more like a casual self supported ride). Social Saturday is the same ride for those who want to ride it in a more casual setting with a support vehicle.
- Weather was perfect - 75 and blue skies
- My lack of fitness combined with a ton of sand made for a hard day. My time was nowhere near impressive, but I finished.
- This year, I needed the 2 water bottles and the 3L camelback. Last year I finished only having used half of my camelback.
- Brandon S. was very kind and stuck with me the whole day.
- Post race food - Cherry Coke and Brats. The Brats were awesome and tasted incredible after the long day. Thanks Kenny and Elden
- Dan Z and Rick S. are insane - RAWROD on friday, and then a race at Lambert on Saturday.
- Huge group for Fast Friday - One rider ended up spending the night down on the trail (A story for another post)
- Thanks to Jesse for giving us a ride down in the Mad Dog van.
- I can attest that Brandon didn't break any laws. He exercised a high level of restraint and didn't throw any rocks off the cliffs.

Always good to hang with you Miles. Now we can focus on the lunch rides. Those are much less painful.
I wish I could partake of the pain gauntlet. Maybe in a few years. Congrats on the finish!
