As noted in an earlier post, using Google Latitude was interesting (I had a few folks watching my progress on their systems), but it did in the battery on my Blackberry mid-way through Saturday evening. And the one thing that I neglected to pack for the overnight was the battery charger for the BB!
Once we got into camp, we set up in the beer tent and proceeded to re-hydrate and celebrate the day's effort. For me, there was a certain relief in finishing with the seat intact and both tires fully inflated.
The climb up Hamilton Mountain was slow and grueling. On the plus side, though, even at a glacial pace, we still moved faster than the cars trapped in the gridlock of a summer afternoon.
When we finally got into the residential area before Mohawk College, I found there was a little bit of energy that hadn't been depleted on the climb. With the combination of smooth roads and flat terrain, I was able to sprint the last 2-3 km to the College. It was exhilarating!
