I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I thought the ride was pretty good -- well done. But Foo & I got there really early -- around 9 am. We had a selection of parking spaces, close to registration and the one bathroom I could use. Yes, there was only one which was later clogged and overflowed. (Another story)
I did part of the 22-mile route (an out & back) and found the difficulty level to be comparable to the Peach Pedal in terms of hills. (It sucked starting the ride going down a hill then having to climb 2 massive ones right after.) The one difference about this ride versus Peach Pedal hills is that they flat before the uphill. At least at Muenster, many hills went down then immediately up so you could get some speed going for the next one. I wouldn't call this a beginner ride by any means, although there were a few newbie riders out there. Everyone spaced out well and pretty much abided by the rules (IMHO), considering the number of participants. I guess I didn't have any problems, since I was at the very back doing my own "thing." People passed me, encouraged me and then left me on my own. All the volunteers were great and very helpful. SAG must have passed me 10 times, along with oodles of motorcycle riders.
Then after the ride, we all headed to the Fest. Even there, they had only one accessible restroom, but I managed. People were still very helpful when asked and apologized they couldn't make things right. The food was good. The music enjoyable. The company even better.
Although still a little sore and tired today, I'd do it again!
