The first time I ever heard that was 2 years ago when I first started cycling and it was very hard for me to understand the math behind that statement. That is until I actualy saw (and experienced!) what Flying Wheels actually is... living hell!
Its called Flying Wheels because by the time you get to the mid point of the last hill you're flying off the handle cursing the day you payed $30 to participate in this event. Chances are you might even throw your bike off a cliff in frustration, at which point you'd have quote, unquote 'Flying Wheels'.
Well 45 miles is not enough for this team. We tackled the 65 miler (which the event coordinators list as a 70 mile ride)!!!
.
It was a very hard and challenging ride, but thankfully we did not have any mechanical issues as a team and the weather was very much on our side.
Here are some more pics to supplement Leo's post. Hope y'all enjoy the pics, and if you're ever in the mood to put yourself through self inflicted torture... feel free to bike the route we have posted below!
